Itinerary
Start your journey with a scenic drive from Marrakech towards the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, passing through changing landscapes as the city gradually gives way to valleys, rivers, and traditional Berber villages. This introduction to the region offers a first glimpse of the natural beauty of the Ourika Valley area, with opportunities to enjoy panoramic views and photo stops along the way.
On the way to Setti Fatma waterfalls, you will stop at a local Argan oil cooperative, where you can discover how this traditional Moroccan oil is produced. Learn about the extraction process and its cultural importance, and see how local women’s cooperatives carefully craft natural Argan products. It’s also a great opportunity to explore and optionally taste or purchase authentic local products.
Another highlight of the journey is a visit to the Setti Fatma waterfalls, where you can enjoy a short hike and admire the refreshing natural scenery, followed by a traditional lunch. Throughout the trip, there will be time for photo stops and optional breaks to relax by the river and take in the peaceful surroundings.
After a day immersed in the Atlas Mountains, the journey continues with a comfortable drive back to Marrakech. Along the way, you will once again enjoy scenic landscapes, with optional short stops to take photos or simply appreciate the peaceful mountain views before returning to the city.

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).
