Cascades d’Ouzoud: What to see in the surroundings?
Only 150 kilometres from Marrakesh, near Beni Mellal in the Middle Atlas, the Ouzoud waterfalls are a great change of scenery.
My suggestion
Go there in summer to have a rest from the summer heat. It's a spectacular show. The lush vegetation of thick green leaves surrounds a series of turquoise pools.

My suggestion
Bring a tent and spend the night under the stars, in a calm, serene environment. If you don't own any camping gear, don't worry; at the site, there's the option to rent small wooden or bamboo cabins, which are perfect for making the most of the place.
