Near the waterfalls, there is the large village of Atlas, one of the most charming areas due to its picturesque nature.
In the surrounding area, you will find green valleys and fruit orchards. It is heaven on earth.

It is a significant tourist destination in Morocco and one of the most visited and photographed natural sites in Morocco.
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.
How to reach in Ouzoud waterfalls?
Ouzoud waterfalls are
located in Azilal at a distance of 150 kilometers from Marrakech, so To reach
it, you will need to take a shared taxi from Marrakesh to Azilal and from there another to Ouzoud, or
you can get a round-trip service with tour guides by one of the specialized
tourism companies.
Things to do in Ouzoud waterfalls:
1.Swimming:
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.
2.Taking a boat ride:
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!
they are used to having people. This means
that they are very interactive. They are peaceful but may also engage in
alarming activities.
4. Taking pictures:
Your coming to Ouzoud an
excellent opportunity for taking beautiful pictures to keep as a memory or to
show them to your friends
