Ouzoud

Ouzoud Waterfalls

Ouzoud Waterfalls (110 m high) are located in the Grand Atlas village of Tanaghmeilt (Province of Azilal, 150 Km north-east of Marrakech) in Morocco. It is the most visited site of the region. In the vicinity, Green valleys, mills, orchards and a superb circuit of the gorges of the El Abid River (in Arabic, "Slaves' River" ), are found. Ouzoud is the berber word for "olive", referring to the nearby olive trees. It is possible to swim at the bottom of the falls which is accessible through a shaded path of olive trees. At the summit of the falls, there exist a dozen of old small mills that are still in use. In the twilight, one can observe whole troops of monkeys. One can also borrow a narrow and difficult track leading to the road of Beni Mellal while descending the gorges from the "wadi el-Abid" by a superb canyon sometimes which one does not distinguish the bottom with nearly 600 metres. Many local and national associations lead projects to protect and preserve the site
