Description :

As you approach the Ouzoud waterfalls, you’ll be struck by the sheer height of the cascading water, which falls majestically from approximately 110m. Situated at an altitude of 1060m, the area enjoys a moderate temperature throughout the year, which makes it a perfect destination for nature lovers.

As you make your way through the winding paths, you’ll be surrounded by lush greenery, and the traditional watermills still in operation will transport you back in time. The shaded orchards offer a welcome respite from the heat, and the sounds of the cascading water will soothe your soul.

The Ouzoud waterfalls are not just a feast for the eyes but also home to a thriving ecosystem of protected fauna that coexist harmoniously with humans. It’s a rare opportunity to witness nature in its purest form.

In Berber, the waterfalls are cascades of olive trees, and you’ll understand why once you see the numerous olive trees that line the cascading water. The Ouzoud waterfalls are a unique experience that will leave you feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and in awe of the beauty of nature.
