The Ourika Valley, located just 65 kilometers from Marrakech, offers a wonderful day trip. You can visit an authentic Berber House, explore the valley, and even hike to the seven waterfalls of Setti Fatma. The valley is known for its lush, green landscapes, vibrant colors, and argan trees. It’s an ideal place to escape the bustle of Marrakech and experience the natural beauty and culture of the region.
Enjoy a beautiful excursion to Ourika Valley with a magnificent view of the Atlas Mountains in the distance. Drive by several adobe Berber communities before stopping at one. Trek to the Setti Fadma waterfalls and enjoy a delicious Berber tagine beside the stream.
Our driver will pick you up at 9:00 am from your hotel, riad, or another agreed-upon location and head to the Ourika Valley. First, we will drive through the High Atlas slopes and small settlements typical of the region. It’s a peaceful place surrounded by nature, with the only sounds being birds chirping and streams flowing. After an hour’s drive, we’ll reach the center of the Ourika Valley. We’ll explore nearby towns in our 4×4 vehicle, where you can experience the local atmosphere. The markets, known as souks, are less touristy than those in Marrakech but have their original charm.
You can also visit a typical local home, have some authentic Moorish tea, or enjoy a delicious meal by the riverbank.
