Private Middle Atlas tour of Ouzoud Falls and Imin Ifri with lunch

Private Middle Atlas tour of Ouzoud Falls and Imin Ifri with lunch

You'll spend this full‑day tour roaming the Middle Atlas, the mountain region just beyond Marrakech, visiting Ouzoud Falls, Berber villages and the natural bridge of Imin Ifri. After leaving Marrakech, you'll settle in for the drive as the scenery shifts from city bustle to mountain greenery. You'll also stop at Boughlou, where pottery lines the roadside and craftsmen shape clay in the sun. Hassan, one of our local expert guides, says, “The waterfalls wow everyone, but it's meeting the potters and seeing these little mountain corners most travellers miss that really sticks with people.” When you reach the Ouzoud Falls, you'll see why they're considered one of Morocco's most photogenic spots. The falls plunge more than 100 metres into a misty gorge, sending up a spray that hangs in the air. You'll have free time to wander the paths, capture the rainbow that regularly forms in the mist and look out for Barbary apes relaxing in the trees. Lunch is served in a local restaurant nearby, where you can try dishes like fine‑grain couscous drizzled with olive oil and topped with toasted almonds. The route then leads to Imin Ifri, a natural bridge carved over centuries by a slow‑moving river. Here, your guide shares the local folklore – a romantic Berber tale of two lovers said to have reached across the gorge and turned to stone. There's time to take photos, browse local crafts and soak up the scenery. After that, you'll begin the return to Marrakech, rolling back into the city in the early evening.
