Morocco: Cascades d’Ouzoud

Being in Marrakech for a while could really exhaust you. However, there are so many great attractions that you can easily reach from Marrakech. One of them must be Ouzoud.

I took the last day in Morocco with the peaceful Cascades d’Ouzoud. Ouzoud was recommended on a blog that I paid a visit awhile ago and I was very happy that I visited this place. The great thing about it is a nice place to escape from the noise and crowd of Marrakech. It is just 2 hours away from Marrakech. The best way to go there is with a bus. This can be easily booked with a travel agency. However, if you stay in a Riad, maybe first check the price they offer there because it might be cheaper. The price for the trip is around 200-300 Dirham.

Marrakech – Colourful and Full of Surprises

It was a long night train from Tangier. So much excitement along the way because I was finally going to see Marrakech. I have seen so many nice photos and heard many stories about this place. Time to see it myself.

Got out of the train station, I took a taxi to the Riad. The train station is located in the new area of Marrakech so everything seems very modern around here. However, you will see a huge difference when you enter the old town. I arrived very early in the morning but it was already lively in the square Jemaa El Fna. The market was already opened, people was up working. Horses and donkeys started working hard transporting goods.
