Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Start your journey with a 8:00 AM pickup from your hotel or riad in Marrakech, heading towards the stunning High Atlas Mountains. The Ourika Valley, shaped by a rushing mountain stream, stretches through the lower slopes of the Atlas range. Known for its lush, unspoiled landscapes, it’s one of the best-preserved valleys in Morocco. Along the scenic, winding roads, stop to enjoy panoramic views and capture memorable photos. In a small village, learn from your driver and locals about the traditional production and health benefits of argan oil. Visit a Berber house and get an authentic glimpse into Berber culture and daily life.

   4 hAdmission included

2. Pass through the village of Tnine-Ourika, known for its lively weekly souk every Monday. This traditional market is one of the most vibrant and culturally rich in the Marrakech region.

Hiking shoes are strongly recommended.

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.
