Ouzoud is the highest waterfall in Morocco, a hundred and ten metres of water falling into a gorge full of olive trees, and it is close enough to Marrakech to see properly in a day. This is the private version: your own vehicle and driver, your own departure time, and no group to wait for. The drive north runs through Berber villages and olive groves; at the falls a path of steps takes you down to the pools, where small boats run under the spray and wild Barbary macaques sit in the trees above. Ten to eleven hours door to door.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
