Ouzoud Waterfalls (French : Cascades
d'Ouzoud ) (110 m high) are located in the
Grand Atlas village of Tanaghmeilt, in the
province of Azilal, 150 km north-east of
Marrakech , in Morocco.
Ouzoud means "the act of grinding grain"
in Berber , this theory is confirmed by the
frequent mills in the region. [1]
The bottom of the falls is accessible
through a shaded path of olive trees. At
the summit of the falls, there exist a dozen
of old small mills that are still in use. One
can also follow a narrow and difficult track
leading to the road of Beni Mellal while
descending the gorges from the "wadi el-
Abid" by a canyon sometimes which one
does not distinguish the bottom with
nearly 600 metres.
It is the most visited site of the region. In
the vicinity, Green valleys, mills, orchards
and a superb circuit of the gorges of the El
Abid River (in Arabic, "Slaves' River" ), are
found. Many local and national
associations lead projects to protect and
preserve the site. You can walk along a
path at the top of the falls where there is
a canopy of trees and green plants. Along
the path, hundreds of monkeys live and
you can see them everywhere you go. There
is a long flight of stairs to the bottem of
the Cascade D'Ouzoud which has many
shops and other such things.
