Reviews of Ouzoud Falls

One of Morrocco's top spots. For me a must see venue. Walking down to the abyss bottom takes 10-15 minutes. From there you can take amazing photos. There are several viewpoints on the way which is lined with dozens of shops and restaurants. Some of them serve food until the late hours. The place is rather overcrowded, we recommend either early morning or evening visit to avoid many visitors and get nice photos. The famous macaques monkeys are better spotted in the later afternoon hours, when the sun no longer reaches the bottom basis. Get ready for crazy jumpers everywhere. The place is not charged or guarded in any way. Magnificent experience!!

Get ready for a hike!!! This was our last event before leaving Marrakesh and for good reason: It was a 10-hour movement. LOL. We came at the peak of the heat, but the tour was great cos the minivans were reasonably air-conditioned. The highlight of it all was getting to the waterfall…please take a swimming trunk if you can, cos once that water hits you, it will give you a 1000 lives anew. It was cold, refreshing and oh my!!! I will try to book the hotel close to it for 2 nights in my next trip, just so we can spend a full day at the waterfall again. The journey it takes to get there is worth it in the end. And hey, try their Tajin Beef or Vegetarian as local delicacies are usually much more better made. The wild monkeys acted like they were celebrities that had to be begged for close-up photos. LOL

Ouzoud Falls is approx a 4 hr drive from Marrakesh. So if you do a tour booked through your hotel the driver is a driver. Not a tour guide There is a 15min stop half way for bathroom & snacks But once you arrive at the falls you are met my a local guide who greets you at the bus and explains the day The walk down to the falls is beautiful. There are monkeys along the way .. so keep your belongings close 😜 There are many little shops/markets on the way down to the falls. Be prepared to bargain! Once at the bottom there is a boat ride for 20MAD that takes you right up to the falls.. it’s really cool There’s a bridge you can stand in for more gorgeous photos Once you are ready to go back up there are quite a few stairs. Take your time & enjoy the view… you’ll reach a lunch area where you can sit and have lunch while watching the falls After lunch. More stairs & shops to the top At the end of the trip be prepared to trip your local Berber guide - approx 30MAD It’s gorgeous day trip. But it is a long day with the commute.. but if you’re lucky like me .. I let some wonderful ladies from the UK & chatted with them most of the day This trip is also great for solo travelers

The waterfalls impressive for sure, the walking in the heat and the route back via a lot of stairs, not so much. Ensure you are hydrated and bring along a collapsible walking cane if you have any back or knee issues. The short boat ride near the waterfall was enjoyable with plenty of scenery for memorable photos. The only issue for me was the 2.5hour drive to get there, but you may not have such a journey. To conclude, an impressive waterfall, but once you have seen it, for me the extra walking just to see it at different angles didn't do much.

Ouzoud Waterfalls in Morocco are absolutely stunning and the best waterfall I’ve ever seen! The sight of the water cascading down the cliffs into the lush valley below is breathtaking. I had such a great time exploring the area, whether it was hiking along the trails, admiring the rainbows in the mist, or cooling off in the refreshing waters. One of the highlights was getting up close to the falls on a boat ride. Feeling the spray and hearing the roar of the water was so exciting! And the Barbary macaque monkeys added even more charm to the experience. Watching them play and interact was such a treat. Overall, Ouzoud Waterfalls are a must-visit if you're in Morocco. It's a beautiful spot that offers a perfect mix of nature, adventure, and wildlife. The waterfalls are actually FREE but most people just use a tour from Marrakech.
