Discover the Ouzoud waterfall in a day trips from Marrakech, one of the most beautiful natural sites in Morocco. Surrounded by hundreds of acres of beautiful countryside, trees, and small sleepy local villages, the famous Ouzoud waterfall is a spectacular sight. At around 110 meters in height and with stunning crashing waters, it’s well worth a visit if you need a break from Marrakech. It takes a three-hour drive from Marrakech to get there and along the way you’ll be able to see the surrounding countryside, including imposing red cliffs and vast expanses of oleander flowers. There’s also a good chance you’ll catch a glimpse of some Barbary apes. The Ouzoud waterfall is fantastic for birdwatchers thanks to the variety of bird species found in the area and is also popular with walkers who explore the nearby trails. The Ouzoud waterfall also offers plenty of places to have lunch with one of the most incredible views in Morocco. The very best views are found at the top of the waterfall, however, you’ll have to bring plenty of water as there are around 1,000 steps to get there. Those that do decide to climb the steps will be treated to one of the most incredibly beautiful views in North Africa, so it’s well worth the effort.
