Ouzoud waterfalls: What is the best time to visit it?

You can visit Ouzoud waterfalls all year round. It is more crowded during the summer, but this is the best time of year to go if you want to swim in the pools at the end of the falls. There is more water during the winter season, and the number of tourists is much less. So if You had no problem with the cold weather, winter is probably the best time to visit it.

If you visit Ouzoud during the summer, the waters of the White River will be warm enough to swim in. There are many swimming pools where one can swim under the falls of Ouzoud.

If the stream is not very strong, it is possible to steer a bit away from the waterfalls and swim in a quieter part of the river away from the crowds.

There are small boats in the first pond of water at the bottom of the falls. For a small fee (around 20 dirhams) they can take you near the waterfalls.

If you go in this boat, prepare to get wet. I would suggest a rain jacket and a waterproof camera enjoy the experience to the fullest.

3. See the Barbarian monkeys:

One of the main reasons so many people visit this site is the presence of wild Barbary monkeys. They play in the trees and hang out around the river and the cascades. They are a fun sight to watch too!
