Good driver, great waterfalls. Made it difficult to go solo without a guide, even when asked to not have a guide. Over all great experience. ####
Thank you so much
That was unexpectedly good , enjoyed the 2.5 hrs road trip ( one way ) to the surprisingly beautiful waterfall , the guide there which was arrange with AbdolSalam was really good took us under his wings showing us the area and sharing the local knowledge . As expected plan arranged by Abdolsalam was very smooth and all the journey was joyful , highly recommend to stay a way out of the hassle and bustle if big Marrakesh and spending the day trip in peaceful nature
Thanks
Went there with my wife this week and couldn't be happier. The place is beautiful. We got a private guide (not necessary, there are many tourists there you can "follow" through the trail) who told us about the village life in there while showing us the place. You get to see a bunch of friendly monkeys along the way (and they're happy to take pictures with you as long and you have a couple of peanuts for them - you can buy them on spot, too). The waterfall is beautiful, breathtaking even. It's a great place to relax in, as well as have a lovely traditional lunch while sightseeing. Might even return to camp in the place for a day or two!
My husband and I went to the waterfalls of Ozoud on March 10 and we were caught up with the wonders that Nature is capable of creating. We were staying at the Hotel Ali in the Medina in Marrakech and they helped us schedule the tour and explained how things worked. We left early for the trip that took about 2 hours, which went well because we were quiet and comfortable, when we arrived there were several guides willing to show that wonderful work of nature, we ended up knowing Amir, a friendly and humble guide who made us the complete visit showing and explaining in Spanish (language easier to understand) not only the fauna and flora of that place but also showed us the indigenous community and some of its traditions, led us to lunch at a restaurant with the best view ever, even in front of the fall of water from the cascade. We recommend 100% the visit to this place where we were very well received and where we could watch and live with the Monkeys who make that area their natural habitat 😀 p.s. Take peanuts and all Monkeys will be your friends
