Frequently Asked Questions

How difficult is the hiking at Ouzoud Waterfalls and is it suitable for children?

The hiking at Ouzoud Waterfalls is moderate and suitable for most fitness levels, including children aged 6 and above. The main path involves descending and ascending stone steps (approximately 300-400 steps total) to reach the waterfall base. The steps are well-maintained but can be slippery when wet from the waterfall mist. The walk takes about 20-30 minutes each way at a leisurely pace. For those who prefer less walking, you can stay at the top viewpoints which offer spectacular views without the descent. We recommend comfortable walking shoes with good grip, and taking your time on the steps. The boat tour is accessible from the base and requires minimal walking once you descend.

Can we swim at Ouzoud Waterfalls and what should we bring for swimming?

Yes, swimming is possible in the natural pools at the base of Ouzoud Waterfalls, particularly during the warmer months (April to October). The water is refreshingly cool and clean, fed by the mountain springs. For swimming, we recommend bringing: swimsuit, towel, and water shoes (the rocks can be slippery). The current near the main waterfall can be strong, so it's best to swim in the calmer pools further away. There are changing facilities available at some restaurants. The boat tour may get you slightly wet from the waterfall mist, so even if you don't plan to swim fully, you might want to bring a change of clothes or waterproof jacket. Swimming is optional and you can still enjoy the experience without entering the water.

What kind of lunch is available at Ouzoud Waterfalls and are there vegetarian options?

There are several restaurants with spectacular waterfall views at Ouzoud offering traditional Moroccan cuisine. Typical lunch options include Moroccan salads, tagines (chicken, lamb, or vegetable), grilled meats, and fresh fish. Most restaurants offer vegetarian options such as vegetable tagine, Moroccan salads, and omelets. The average lunch cost is approximately 15-25 EUR per person including drinks. You can also find simpler options like sandwiches, crepes, and snacks at lower prices. We recommend bringing cash (Euros or Moroccan Dirhams) as credit cards are not always accepted. If you have specific dietary requirements, please inform us when booking so we can recommend suitable restaurants. The lunch experience with waterfall views is memorable and highly recommended.
