Description

Leave the busy streets of Marrakech behind and escape into the breathtaking landscapes of the Ourika Valley, nestled in the heart of the High Atlas Mountains. This private day trip offers the perfect blend of comfort, culture, and nature, giving you a glimpse of authentic Berber life just an hour from the city. Your adventure begins with a pick-up directly from your hotel or riad in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Sit back and relax as your friendly driver-guide takes you through scenic roads lined with red hills, olive groves, and small mountain villages. Along the way, you’ll stop at a women’s argan oil cooperative, where local Berber women will show you how Morocco’s “liquid gold” is produced by hand — a true cultural encounter you’ll never forget. Continue your journey deeper into the valley, where the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas Mountains rise dramatically above lush greenery. Visit a traditional Berber village, meet local families, and learn about their customs, architecture, and way of life — a world that feels timeless and peaceful. Next, follow your local guide on a gentle walk to the famous Setti Fatma waterfalls. The trail is accessible and offers many chances to pause, admire the stunning scenery, and take photos of the sparkling cascades surrounded by nature. The refreshing air and sound of rushing water create an unforgettable moment of serenity. After your walk, it’s time to unwind. Choose a table at a local riverside restaurant, where you can enjoy a delicious Moroccan lunch — tagines, couscous, grilled dishes, and refreshing salads, all prepared with local ingredients. You can even dip your feet in the cool mountain water while you eat — a unique and relaxing experience that captures the spirit of the valley. Vegetarian options are available. In the afternoon, enjoy a peaceful drive back to Marrakech, passing through charming landscapes and colorful markets. Arrive back at your accommodation with wonderful memories and photos of one of Morocco’s most beautiful valleys.
