    Itinerary
    Day Trip to Ouzoud Waterfall

    Day 1: Marrakech – Ouzoud Waterfalls – Marrakech

    Your waterfall adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel or riad in Marrakech, typically around 8:00 AM. The drive takes approximately 3 hours north of Marrakech, crossing the Tadla plains dotted with olive tree farms, peach and apricot orchards.

    Upon arrival at the village of Ouzoud, marvel at the incredible sight of the waterfalls, where cascades tumble dramatically over 110 metres into the pools below. With your local guide, descend along winding trails shaded by olive trees and dotted with small cafes.

    Stop to admire stunning viewpoints, snap memorable photos, and watch the resident Barbary macaque monkeys at play. Visit an argan oil cooperative and learn about the traditional methods of extracting this precious oil.

    As you continue your hike, take the opportunity to enjoy a refreshing glass of fresh orange juice from a local stall while admiring the panoramic views of the valley. At the base of the falls, board a traditional wooden boat for a short but unforgettable ride that takes you close to the thundering cascades. Feel the cool mist on your face as you capture unique perspectives of this natural wonder.

    After working up an appetite, relax at a local restaurant overlooking the waterfalls and indulge in a delicious Berber lunch featuring regional specialties. Savor the flavors while enjoying the tranquil setting and spectacular backdrop.

    In the mid-afternoon, climb a series of stone steps out of the valley, taking in the final views of the Ouzoud Falls before meeting your driver for the return journey. Arrive back in Marrakech by approximately 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM with drop-off at your accommodation.

    Out of this world Words can’t even describe how this whole trip has been. From the very start Youssif was on time, matter of fact he was waiting for us and he welcomed us with open arms. We stayed with him for about two and half weeks and did everything from sleeping in the middle of the desert, riding camels, atvs, out of this world views and amazing places to eat everything single time. I think god for Youssif being our tour guide because we come here every two years and will use him every single time. If anyone is looking for a tour guide that is professional, on time, matters, knowledgeable and most importantly funny.

    Un accueil incroyable Quels voyages … ! Et oui, ce n’est pas la première fois que Youssef accompagne mes séjours au Maroc, tout simplement car il est GÉNIAL ! 😎 Lors de chaque visite il s’est adapté aux envies que nous lui avons partagé : découverte du désert, de la côte, de l’atlas … Et ce qui n’a jamais changé sont : ses sourires, sa générosité et son partage de la culture marocaine. 🌞 Je vous recommande Youssef pour découvrir le Maroc en toute sécurité et, surtout, avec tellement d’authenticité. SHUKRAN BEZEEEEEEF SOSO, « allah mawlana » (ce qui veut dire que je reviendrai le voir, c’est sûr !) 🫶

    Amazing trip and youssef is the man 🤙🏽 Just booked with Youssef from Best Travel to Morocco and no cap, the whole trip was fire 🔥. Everything was smooth, well planned, and zero stress. My guy Youssef really knows how to hook things up properly. Always responsive, super chill, and made sure everything was running like clockwork. The schedule was on point, nothing felt rushed, and the whole experience was straight vibes. You can tell he actually cares about making your trip lit, not just doing the bare minimum. If you’re tryna explore Morocco the right way, Youssef is the real deal. Highly recommend 💯
