OZOUD WATERFALLS

Approximately 167 km northeast of Marrakech are the most spectacular waterfalls in Morocco, an experience that would be a real shame to miss. It is possible to carry out this excursion in the space of a day, by renting a car or by booking a group or private excursion.
The waterfalls are a popular attraction for both tourists and Moroccans, especially on weekends and in the summer. The Oued Ozoud (which means river Ozoud: the term Ozoud in Berber means “olives” and refers to the cultivation of olive trees in the area), falls for about 110 meters on three levels in the gorge of Oued El Abid.

OURIKA VALLEY

Ourika is one of the most beautiful and spectacular valleys in the High Atlas and its proximity to Marrakech (about 45 minutes) makes it a wonderful destination for a day trip. The slopes of the valley rise above the expanse of emerald green fields of the valley floor. In the summer, when Marrakech is choking on the heat, the valley is crowded with people fleeing the city who come here to camp and have a picnic beside the cool waters. The valley, located east of the Jebel Toubkal, is popular with skiers in winter and trekking enthusiasts in spring and summer.
