Ouzoud Excursions
Hamid is one of the four authors of this site, with Hassan, Hamid, Mohammed and Saïd, all members of the Ouzoud Excursions team. Each of them signs the pages of the subject he follows, so that you know who wrote what you are reading.
What he writes about
He wrote our page on pickup from riads in the medina, with the usual meeting point for each quarter, and our page on the private driver from Marrakech to Ouzoud, which explains clearly the difference between a driver and a guide and what you can do on your own during your free time at the falls.
How his pages are checked
Facts about the Ouzoud Waterfalls that cannot be seen on the day, such as the height of the falls, the altitude, the distance from Marrakech or the status of the Barbary macaques, come from published sources, which our Ouzoud guide lists at the end. When a detail depends on someone else, such as the boatmen at the foot of the falls or a restaurant, the page says so instead of guessing. Our business rules (private vehicle, 50% deposit, free cancellation up to 48 hours) are the same on every page and are set out in our booking terms.
A question about one of his pages?
If something on one of his pages is unclear or no longer matches what you find at Ouzoud, tell us on WhatsApp or by email from our contact page. We reply in English or in French and correct the page when needed. His pages are listed below.
