The Ouzoud waterfalls are waterfalls located in the central part of Morocco, considered the highest and most beautiful in the country. Located in the small village of Tanaghmeilt, in the Middle Atlas, in the province of Azilal, about 120 km from Beni Melal and 150 km from Marrakesh, they are a major tourist attraction. They rise from the Tissakht wadi and are approximately 110 metres high.

Ouzoud is a Berber word meaning "olive" and refers to the nearby olive trees that shade the path leading to the bottom of the waterfalls. At the top of the waterfalls are a dozen small old mills that are still in use.

It is the most visited site in the region. In the surrounding area are green valleys, mills, orchards and a magnificent circuit of the aforementioned gorges of the El Abid River (Arabic for "Slave River"). Many local and national associations are leading projects to protect and preserve the site.

On your return, Nasser will be waiting for you with mint tea and Moroccan pastries.
