The world famous Ouzoud Waterfalls (110 m high) are located in the Grand Atlas village of Tanaghmeilt (Province of Azilal, 150 Km north-east of Marrakech).

These are definitely one of the prettiest falls in Morocco and in Northern Africa as a whole. They're truly stunning at any time of the year, especially during heavy rain.

The falls are the most visited site in this region. The surrounding landscape is made up of idyllic green valleys, mills, orchards and the dramatic gorges of the 'El Abid' river or 'Slaves river' in Arabic.

You can even go swimming here, at the bottom of the falls. Access is through a shaded path of olive trees. As the sun begins to fade, you can see whole troops of monkeys playing in the twilight - very surreal.
