Highlights
Escape the vibrant energy of Marrakech for a day and journey into the heart of the Atlas Mountains with this full-day excursion to the stunning Ourika Valley. Just a short drive from the city, Ourika offers a peaceful contrast with its lush green landscapes, cool mountain air, and traditional Berber villages. Your day begins with a comfortable drive through scenic countryside, passing olive groves, orchards, and small settlements nestled along the riverbanks. Upon arrival in the Ourika Valley, you’ll be welcomed by the serene beauty of this mountain oasis. The highlight of the excursion is a guided hike to the Setti Fatma waterfalls, where you’ll explore a series of seven cascading falls surrounded by dramatic rock formations and native flora. The local guide will lead you along mountain trails, sharing insights into the region’s natural features and Berber culture along the way. You'll have plenty of time for photos, admire the views, and feel the refreshing mist of the waterfalls

Itinerary
Your full-day excursion to Ourika Valley will start at 09h00 AM. This trip will take us through some authentic Berber villages. We won’t be able to visit them, but just admiring them from a distance gives us a very clear idea of how people still live here. Many are craftsmen and survive from their natural resources and from selling their crafts. The Ourika valley is located at the foot of the High Atlas Mountains and is incredibly fertile. It is fed by the streams of the rivers that come down the mountains. You will be able to sample a typical rural dish for lunch. Of course, we will visit some waterfalls located along the river. We will return to Marrakech in the afternoon.

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).
