Ouzoud
Waterfall Day Trip
The Ouzoud Waterfalls (110 m high) are located
in the Grand Atlas village of Tanaghmeilt (Province of Azilal,
150 Km north-east of Marrakech) in
Morocco.
It is the most visited site of the region. In the
vicinity, Green valleys, mills, orchards and a superb circuit
of the gorges of the "El Abid" river (Slaves' river
in Arabic), are found. Ouzoud is the berber word for "olive",
referring to the nearby olive trees.
It is possible to swim at the
bottom of the falls,accessible through a shaded path of olive
trees. At the summit of the falls, there exist dozens of old small
mills that are still in use. In the twilight, one can observe
whole troops of monkeys.
The waterfall is a comfortable daytrip from the
Kasbah.
