The Ouzoud Waterfalls Morocco is a Dream Destination The Ouzoud Waterfalls are a complex network of waterfalls that cascade one into another through 3 major and several minor drops. From top to bottom, the chain of waterfalls stretches 330 feet. The brilliant white of the stirred-up water contrasts dramatically with the rich red sandstone outcroppings of the El Abid river gorge. As one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region, the Ouzoud Waterfalls offer visitors a number of options to best view this astonishing natural wonder.
From the base of the falls, a path winds between ancient olive trees that have given their name to the falls - "Ouzoud" means "olive" in the Berber language. For those who prefer a bird's eye view, there are a number of small roads that lead to the summit and then descend to the bottom. Be sure to watch carefully as the sun sets: that's when extended family groups of the local monkeys visit the falls to play amongst the splashing waters and rising mists.
