Itinerary
Fully explore the splendor of the Ourika Valley on this full-day panoramic tour from Marrakech and leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind for a day. The closest day trip to Marrakech is the Ourika Valley, but it's not just its proximity that makes it unique. Pass through the Atlas Mountains and contemplate the enchanting landscape of green meadows and authentic Berber villages from the 16th and 17th centuries. If you visit on a Monday, you even have the option of stopping at a roadside souk.
Discover fruit orchards, vegetable terraces and villages clinging to the hillsides. Come admire the work of the Berbers who brought materials to build small houses on the mountainside and worked the terraces in a hostile environment. Continue along the valley of palm trees, following the Ourika river. The fruit trees, small hamlets, riverside restaurants and summer homes of the wealthy will keep you busy. Go to Setti Fatma to enjoy the refreshing waters. Bathe the sea spray on your face while enjoying the African heat, in the company of Marrakech residents who have chosen Marrakech as their favorite place to reside for the weekend.

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).
