Ouzoud Falls, Morocco 🇲🇦
Ouzoud Falls is the collective name for several waterfalls that empty into the El-Abid River’s (Arabic for “Slaves’ River”) gorge. This popular tourism destination is located near the Middle Atlas village of Tanaghmeilt, in the province of Azilal, 150 km northeast of Marrakech, Morocco. ‘Ouzoud’ means “the act of grinding grain” in Berber. This seems to be confirmed by the frequent mills in the region.
The Ouzoud Waterfalls is the second tallest waterfall in Africa. It’s a huge touristic destination and one of the most visited and photographed natural sites in Morocco!
A lot of people imagine Morocco to be a vast barren desert; however, there are countless lush forests and waterfalls in this country. It’s true that the southern part of the country is quite arid, but the northern part of the country is much lusher. The Ouzoud Falls is one of the most magnificent and impressive waterfalls in Morocco and North Africa.
