ONE DAY TRIP FROM MARRAKECH TO THE OUZOUD WATERFALLS AND BERBER VILLAGES

About this tour

One Day Trip from Marrakech to the Ouzoud Waterfalls and Berber Villages

This day trip from Marrakech to the Ouzoud waterfalls and Atlas Mountains is a fantastic way to discover the area and learn more about Morocco’s natural resources, without having to get too far away from Marrakech.

The tour will begin at around 8 in the morning, when we leave Marrakech in the direction of the Haouz region. Of course, you will be guided through this tour by an English speaking driver to facilitate communication with the locals. This exciting road trip is going to take us through many small Berber villages, where you can feel the simple and relaxed lifestyle of the locals. Through the Middle Atlas Mountains, we will finally get to our destination: the Ouzoud waterfalls.

Hiking through the surrounding area to the waterfall is a magical experience, since it allows you to witness up close the greatness of the 110 meters tall waterfalls. We might also see some wild Macaque monkeys since they inhabit the area. If you feel like it, you can totally go for a swim at the river, which is clean but cold (perfect for a hot summer day)!

We will have a traditional lunch at one of the restaurants in place run by Berber locals, then continue relaxing and enjoying our time at the waterfall before finally returning to Marrakech
