More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the van and the air changes: cooler, wetter, scented with olive leaves and damp stone. The cliff-edge opens in front of you and the Ouzoud Waterfalls do what waterfalls do best — they move. Three main streams unspool down a 110-meter drop, each ribbon of water catching light differently as it negotiates terraces and plunge pools. Olive groves crowd the valley like a patient audience; old stone mills crouch at the river’s edge.
