Ouzoud Falls in pictures
Waterfalls about 110 m high, in three drops into the El-Abid river gorge, near the village of Tanaghmeilt in Azilal province.
The Ouzoud falls are 160 km northeast of the Medina, about 3 h each way by road. There is no direct bus: by public transport you take two shared taxis, via Azilal. A private transfer costs 1,250 MAD per car for up to 3 guests, and the Ouzoud day trip covers the return.

Marrakech to Ouzoud by road
The first part runs northeast across flat farmland. The last part climbs into the Middle Atlas foothills on a narrower road with bends. It is a long drive for a day out, so leave Marrakech by 08:00.
Most drivers take one coffee stop on the way. The office can add a lunch stop on the way back if you ask when you book.
At the falls
The driver parks near the top of the falls, where the paths start. The falls drop about 110 m in three tiers into the El-Abid gorge. Paths lead down past cafés to the pools at the base, and small boats take visitors close to the spray.
The path down is easy; the climb back up is steep in the heat. Allow three to four hours to go down, have lunch and come back up without rushing.
Ouzoud Falls from 1,250 MAD per car
The price is fixed before you travel. The office confirms it in writing.
Best time to go
The flow depends on the winter rain: after a wet winter the falls run full, after a dry one they thin out. Weekends are busier than weekdays, so go midweek if you can.
Summer is hot on the paths back up. Go early in the day and take water.
Practical tips
Wear shoes with grip: the paths near the water stay wet. Carry cash for the boats, the cafés and any local guide you hire at the top.
Children and anyone who gets carsick do better with an early start and a break on the way up. The foothill bends come at the end of a long drive.
If you want the falls in the quiet early morning, stay the night nearby and book the one-way transfer at 1,250 MAD. Guesthouses near the top of the falls are on foot from the car park; send the name with your booking.
