Best Ouzoud Waterfall day trip From Marrakech

Ouzoud Waterfall day trip From Marrakech starting at 08:30 …

Located in the Grand Atlas village of Tanaghmeilt, the 110-meter-high waterfalls, known as Ouzoud, are the region’s top attraction. Surrounding the falls, you’ll find green valleys, mills, orchards, and a stunning circuit through the Slaves’ River gorges. Ouzoud means ‘olive’ in Berber, named after the nearby olive trees. Access the bottom of the falls via a shaded path lined with olive trees. At the summit, there are a dozen old mills still in use. During twilight, watch troops of monkeys. For a challenging adventure, follow a narrow track to the Benni Malal road while descending the 600-meter-deep canyon of ‘Wadi el-Abid.

A Challenging Descent

Standing at the top of the reddish-brown craggy rocks, the plunging cascades are a marvellous sight to see. Stretching around the wide cliffs, the highest fall is around 100 metres high. Made up of several individual waterfalls of varying heights and widths, it’s rather a unique vision. Gaze down at the river below and you’ll see small boats bobbing on the water, and shimmering rainbows can often be seen in the spray. Hiking in Ouzoud waterfall

BEST OURIKA VALLEY DAY TRIP FROM MARRAKECH

Ourika valley day trip from Marrakech starting from the Hotel / Riad at 09:30:A beautiful drive of 60 km takes you to the foot of the Atlas at about 1000 m altitude. You’ll explore the quaint mud-brick villages nestled on the mountainsides in the Ourika Valley. This region is arguably the most frequented area in the Atlas Mountains, just a 1 hour and 30-minute drive from Marrakech. As you journey along the valley, you’ll find the banks of the Ourika River adorned with ample shade from poplar trees and weeping willows. Consider hiring a local guide to accompany you on a hike to the waterfalls.

A Glimpse of Arhbalou

The village of Arhbalou is very attractive and has a multitude of small restaurants owned by Berber families situated along the water’s edge. A picnic lunch at Arhbalou Cascades or at the edge of the Ourika river is popular with locals and tourists alike. The Ourika valley is an escape from the bustling Marrakech, so take an advantage and book you day trip to Ourika valley with us.

We’ll stop at some of these typical Berber villages, so you can immerse yourself in the daily life of these local people. As we continued our journey through the valley, we approached the more mountainous paths of the Atlas chain towards Seti Fatma. There are several smaller (and some bigger) waterfalls along the route and not all of them are packed with tourists.

We advise you to bring walking shoes as we will be a short walk to some of the Setti Fatma waterfalls (waterfalls). You should also bring swimwear and sunscreen as we may be able to swim in some of the smaller pools at the base of the falls.

Waterfalls Galore

It’s also a good idea to change your clothes as we may be approaching a waterfall where there is plenty of back spray to keep you cool. And don’t forget to bring warm clothes, because the last part of the trip to the town of Sti Fadma can be very cold even in the summer.

You’ll need to bring lunch during this trip, but there are plenty of cafes and restaurants in several Berber villages on our day trips. However, the most important thing you should take with you is a camera as this experience only needs to be recorded.

The hike to the Seti Fatma Waterfall leads through the valley. After that, we will return to Marrakech on the same road. Arrive in town around 5 pm.

Best Ait Ben Haddou kasbha

Day Trip From Marrakech

Ait Ben Haddou Kasbha day trip  will pass completely through the chain of the High Atlas by the route of Tizi n’Tichka, passing the highest road in Africa, admire the mountains of the beautiful and traditional Berber villages. As you observe, there is a noticeable contrast between the two sides of the chain: to the North, the landscape maintains a clear Mediterranean character; however, as you move towards the South, it becomes much more arid and Saharan in nature.

The vegetation marks this, as well as the traditional housing construction, which considers very different climatic conditions. Telouet Kasbha

Telouet Kasbah is a Kasbah along the former route of the caravans from the Sahara over the Atlas Mountains to Marrakech. The kasbah was the seat of the El Glaoui family’s power, thus sometimes also called the Palace of Glaoui. Construction began in 1860, and it underwent further expansion in subsequent years.

kasbha Ait Ben Haddou

Ait Ben Haddou kasbha

Located in the foothills on the southern slopes of the High Atlas in the Province of Ouarzazate, the site of Ait-Ben-Haddou is the most famous ksar in the Ounila Valley. The Ksar of Aït-Ben-Haddou is a striking example of southern Moroccan architecture. The ksar is a mainly collective grouping of dwellings. Houses tightly cluster inside the fortified walls, which are fortified with corner towers and include a defensive gate. Some are modest, while others resemble small urban castles with their tall corner towers and upper sections adorned with clay brick motifs. Additionally, there are buildings and communal areas present. It is an extraordinary ensemble of buildings offering a complete panorama of pre-Saharan earthen construction techniques.

The oldest constructions do not appear to be earlier than the 17th century, although their structure and technique were propagated from a very early period in the valleys of southern Morocco.

The site, furthermore, served as one of the many trading posts along the historic commercial route that connected ancient Sudan to Marrakesh. This route meandered through the Dra Valley and over the Tizi-n’Telouet Pass. Architecturally, the living quarters form a compact grouping, closed and suspended. The community areas of the ksar include a mosque, a public square, grain threshing areas outside the ramparts, a fortification and a loft at the top of the village, an caravanserai, two cemeteries (Muslim and Jewish) and the Sanctuary of the Saint Sidi Ali or Amer.
