How Much Does an Ouzoud Waterfalls Day Trip Cost?

What it costs

€40 per person on our

shared Ouzoud day trip from Marrakech.

The private version is **€38 per person for

two**, €27 at four and €22 at six.

Read that twice, because it is unusual: for two or more people the private trip is the

same price or cheaper than the shared seat. The shared tour only makes sense if you are

travelling alone, where it is €40 against €75 for a private car to yourself.

The costs on the ground

Nothing at Ouzoud is expensive, but the tour price does not cover all of it:

So budget roughly 100-150 MAD each in cash on top of the tour price for the boat and

lunch. That is not a hidden extra - it is simply how the site works, and we would rather

you knew than found out at the top of the path.

Doing it yourself

Ouzoud is genuinely easy to reach independently. It is 150 km of good road from Marrakech,

there is a car park at the top, and the path down is obvious. A hire car for the day plus

fuel will run to roughly 400-600 MAD, which for four people beats any tour.

What you are buying with a tour is the driving - five hours of it, on a day when you also

want to walk a steep path in the heat.

What the day looks like

Leave Marrakech around 8am, arrive around 10:30. The walk down takes twenty minutes past

the macaques, the boat runs across to the spray at the base, and lunch is on one of the

terraces looking straight at the cascade. Back in Marrakech by early evening.

At 110 m over three tiers, Ouzoud is the tallest waterfall in North Africa and the water

runs year round, though it is fullest from March to June after the winter rain.

If you want something quieter and closer, the

Ourika Valley day hike is an hour from Marrakech rather

than two and a half, and is a walk rather than a viewpoint.
