Nestled by the village of Tanaghmeilt in the High Atlas Mountains, the Ouzoud Waterfalls (Cascades d’Ouzoud) stand as Morocco’s highest, plunging 361 feet (110 meters) through a dramatic red-rock gorge carved by the El Abid River. The cascading water creates a misty, cool environment, while the surrounding cliffs and lush greenery provide a striking contrast to the arid landscape. Visitors can explore the area via winding paths that lead to various viewpoints, offering panoramic views of the falls and the river below. Local monkeys and traditional Berber restaurants add to the unique experience, making it a captivating destination for nature enthusiasts.
