Ouzoud Waterfalls Loop
The Cascades d'Ouzoud fall in several tiers into a gorge near the village of Tanaghmeilt and are among the tallest falls in Morocco. From the parking area at the top, one path leads to viewpoints and another descends through olive trees to the pools at the base, returning by the other side of the gorge.
