"Absolutely breathtaking waterfalls!"

I didn't expect Morocco to have something like this. The waterfalls were enormous, the monkeys were hilarious, and the lunch by the water was fantastic. Highly recommend this trip!

"Le meilleur souvenir du Maroc"

Les chutes étaient à couper le souffle. Les singes magots nous ont fait rire tout l'après-midi. Le chauffeur était parfait, ponctuel et très sympa. Journée inoubliable!

"Perfect hidden gem"

Most people don't know about Ouzoud — it's incredible that a place like this is only 2 hours from Marrakech. The driver picked us up on time, knew the best viewing spots. Swim at the bottom was magical.

Ouzoud Waterfalls — FAQ

Yes! There is a natural pool at the base of the falls where you can swim. Bring a swimsuit and towel. The water is refreshing, especially in summer.

Almost certainly — the macaques are a permanent resident population at Ouzoud and are very used to visitors. Do not feed them junk food; local seeds are sold if you'd like to interact.

The falls are most impressive in spring (March–May) after winter rains. Summer is great for swimming. Even in dry autumn months, the falls are beautiful.

Absolutely! Children love the monkeys and the waterfall scenery. The paths have some uneven steps but are manageable. Kids 5+ will enjoy the full experience.
