How does the transfer to Borj des Cascades work?

You choose the date, the number of travellers and the direction in our booking form, with your pickup point in Marrakech (hotel, riad or the airport with your flight number) and Borj des Cascades as the drop-off. Your driver meets you at the agreed time, loads your luggage and drives straight to Ouzoud, with a short coffee or photo stop on request. The vehicle is private: only your group travels in it. For riads inside the medina, where cars cannot enter the lanes, we meet you at the nearest gate or car park, as explained on our riad pickup page.

How long is the drive from Marrakech to Borj des Cascades?

These times are calculated on OpenStreetMap data with the OSRM routing engine, for the fastest route by car. Real days are usually 15 to 30 minutes longer with traffic leaving Marrakech, a stop and the slower mountain roads near Ouzoud. Our page on distances from every city gives the same figures for 24 places in Morocco.

Where is Borj des Cascades at Ouzoud?

Borj des Cascades sits a little back from the falls, about 350 m in a straight line from the main drop: plan roughly 6 minutes on foot to the rim viewpoints. The nearest car park mapped on OpenStreetMap is about 300 m away in a straight line. OpenStreetMap shows 7 restaurants or cafés within 300 m. The plan at the top of this page is drawn from OpenStreetMap: the pin shows where Borj des Cascades is mapped, with the footpaths, viewpoints and car parks of the falls around it. Our map of the Ouzoud Waterfalls explains the routes down to the foot of the falls.

How much does the transfer cost?

The price is the same whether you come from the city or from the airport, and it is for the whole vehicle, not per person.

Prices in EUR for the whole group, 50% deposit online, balance in cash to the driver on the day.

A return is simply two transfers: one on your arrival day and one on your departure day, each at the same price. The total is shown before you pay, and nothing is added later for the transfer itself.

Can I combine the transfer with a day at the falls?

Yes. Many travellers sleep at Ouzoud to see the falls early in the morning, when the paths are quiet, and still want a guide for the walk. You can book our private tour with a local guide as a day trip from Marrakech instead, or ask us on WhatsApp to arrange the guide on site around your stay. Our guide on where to stay at Ouzoud compares the day trip and the overnight stay, and is Ouzoud worth it? helps you decide how much time to give it.

What should I check before booking?

• Your room is booked directly with Borj des Cascades or through a booking platform: we do not sell rooms and have no partnership with any accommodation.
• Tell us your flight number if you come from the airport, and the number and size of suitcases: the minivan takes up to 7 people with luggage.
• Paths around the falls have steps and slopes; ask the accommodation where the car can stop and whether someone can help with bags.
• For a late arrival, give us the exact time: mountain roads are slower after dark.
