What is the best day trip from Marrakech?
It depends on what you like: Ouzoud for big waterfalls, Ourika for a short and easy day, the Atlas zipline for adventure, and Agafay for the desert without a long drive.
How long is the drive to the Ouzoud Waterfalls?
Ouzoud is about 150 km from Marrakech, roughly 3 hours each way, so the trip takes the whole day.
Is the Ourika waterfall hike difficult?
It lasts about 1.5 hours on uneven, rocky paths, so wear good shoes. It is optional: you can stay at the riverside restaurant instead.
Is lunch included?
Each tour page lists exactly what is included. Some trips, like Ouzoud, have options with or without lunch.
Can I cancel, and when do I pay?
Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the trip, and you pay on the day.
