The Ouzoud waterfalls are worth a visit, the Moroccan National Tourist Office notes: easy to reach, and a perfect family outing, the water rushing down from the heights.

The falls

The falls drop from the heights into the gorge below; paths lead down to the pools.

Our advice: wear shoes with a good grip; the paths can be wet.
