Marrakech Day Trip to Ouzoud Waterfalls Itinerary:

Marrakech - Ouzoud Falls

Depart your hotel or riad in Marrakech around 8:00 AM in a comfortable private vehicle. As you leave the city behind, enjoy views of the Moroccan countryside—passing through traditional Berber villages, olive orchards, and scenic valleys. The journey takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours, offering plenty of opportunities to stop for photos or stretch your legs along the way.

Upon arrival at Ouzoud, your driver will introduce you to a local guide (optional) who can take you on a loop hike down to the base of the falls. You’ll descend through olive groves, pass viewpoints with stunning photo ops, and reach the river where the falls thunder into a deep pool. You may see monkeys playing in the trees and locals crossing the water on traditional wooden rafts.

After the hike, unwind with a relaxed lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the falls. You’ll have time to swim (season permitting), snap more photos, or simply enjoy the serene atmosphere before your return to Marrakech in the late afternoon. Expect to arrive back around 6:30 PM.
