Ouzoud Falls is a collection of waterfalls located near the Moyen Atlas village of Tanaghmeilt, approximately two hours northeast of Marrakech in the Moroccan province of Azilal. The falls, which are named for the Berber word for "the act of grinding grain," are one of Morocco's most-visited sites, renowned for their spectacular 360-foot combined drop into the gorge of the El-Abid River.


Visitors can travel into the Atlas Mountains via several road tourism services from Marrakech and explore the site region on foot as part of one-hour walking tours that follow the path to the lip of the falls. Beautiful red rock cliffs surround the falls site, which is often flanked by gorgeous rainbows and shimmering mist. Native Barbary apes populate the region, often making appearances for photo opportunities. While in the area, visitors can explore the remains of several historic mills or dine at their choice of area restaurants with waterfall views. Map
