A 3-hour scenic drive through olive groves to the 110-metre Cascades d’Ouzoud, where three tiers of water crash into natural pools surrounded by lush greenery and playful Barbary macaques. Swim, hike, take an optional boat ride, and lunch by the river — all in one day.

The Cascades d’Ouzoud are 110 metres of cascading water set in a lush gorge full of olive trees, Barbary macaques, and riverside cafés. It’s one of the best day trips from Marrakech — and at €19 with hotel pickup and AC minibus, one of the best value excursions in the country. You get several hours of free time at the falls to explore, swim, hike, boat, or simply sit by the river with a tagine and a view.
