Your Marrakech to Ouzoud Falls itinerary
Morning (8am-11am)
Hotel pickup begins at 8am across Marrakech. Drive northeast through Middle Atlas foothills, passing Berber villages and olive groves. Stop at Tamellalt's natural bridge for photos and coffee (15 minutes). Arrive at Ouzoud around 11 am, and your verified guide will meet you at the vehicle.
Afternoon (11am-3:30pm)
Start your 1.5-hour guided hike down roughly 600 steps through shaded olive groves. Your guide explains ancient grain mills and positions you for safe macaque viewing. Reach the valley floor for the boat ride to the cascade base. Between 1pm-3pm, watch for the Ouzoud rainbow forming in mist. Swim in pools if weather allows, or relax at riverside cafes for lunch (not included, roughly 100-120 MAD).
Evening (3:30pm-6pm)
Hike back up at your pace (guides help anyone needing breaks). Depart Ouzoud around 4pm. Return to Marrakech by 6pm with drop-off at your riad or hotel.
Private tour note: Leave Marrakech at 7:30am to arrive before tour buses. Or extend on-site time until 5pm. Your schedule, your pace.
