Itinerary
Departure from your Riad/Hotel from 09:00 towards the High Atlas Mountains. Carved by a fiery torrent, the Ourika Valley extends between the first foothills of the Atlas; this beautiful green valley is certainly one of the best preserved valleys in Morocco. Enjoy more of the incredible nature that surrounds the winding road and take amazing photos with the natural road. Learn more with our driver about the benefits of a local natural product called argan oil in a small village, the local staff will explain the benefits of this special product to you. Then take him to visit the Berber house and learn more about Berber culture Continuing along the Ourika valley, one is struck by the banks of the Oued whose meadows are generously shaded by poplars and other weeping willows that are unusual at this latitude.
Halfway we pass through the douar of Tnine-Ourika, where an important souk takes place every Monday: it is undoubtedly the most interesting in the entire region of Marrakech.
The road stops at Setti Fatma. There, many more or less difficult hikes begin. The most requested is the discovery of the 7 waterfalls of Setti Fatma. We will cross the wooden footbridge, suspended above the Ourika wadi, before launching. After 1h30 of climbing, you will have well deserved a picnic break under the trees, facing a very picturesque panorama of the douars of the valley. You can also go for a walk on the heights of Setti-Fatma, towards the woods. And don't forget to bring your hiking shoes
The road finally stops at Setti Fatma, at an altitude of 1500m. This village is known for the restaurants with its feet in the water of the river, we will enjoy chatting with the local inhabitants and enjoying a good lunch by the river or sharing a good tajine in a Berber house..

About Marrakech
At the foot of the Atlas Mountains, red-walled Marrakech is famed for its maze-like medina, lively main square and tranquil riads and gardens.
Jemaa el-Fnaa, the great square at the centre of the medina, changes character through the day, from juice sellers and snake charmers in the morning to smoke-wreathed food stalls and musicians after dark. The minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque rises nearby as the city's landmark, and the souks spread north in a warren of lanes selling leather, lanterns, carpets and spices.
Top-ranked sights in Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Tizi-n'Tichka Pass, Jemaa el-Fna (Djemaa el-Fna).
