Description

Located just 1.5 hours from Marrakech, Ourika Valley offers a breathtaking escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Nestled in the foothills of the majestic Atlas Mountains, the valley is renowned for its stunning landscapes, charming Berber villages, rich culture, and the refreshing Ourika waterfalls. Whether you're a nature lover, an adventurer, or someone eager to immerse yourself in local culture, this day trip offers a little bit of everything. Your adventure begins with a comfortable, scenic drive from Marrakech to Ourika Valley. As we leave the city behind, the landscape starts to change dramatically. You’ll pass through lush greenery, small villages, and valleys that sit against the backdrop of the towering Atlas Mountains, where snow-capped peaks (in the winter months) contrast with the verdant fields below. This scenic route itself is one of the highlights of the day, as you will get to witness the stark difference between the bustling city of Marrakech and the peaceful natural beauty of the mountains. Enjoy a scenic drive through the mountains, with a photo stop to capture the beautiful landscapes. Visit a women’s argan oil cooperative, where you’ll learn about the traditional methods of producing Morocco’s famous argan oil. Upon arrival in Ourika Valley, set off on a 1.5-hour guided hike, passing through Berber villages and lush valleys, leading to the beautiful Ourika waterfalls. Take in the fresh mountain air, admire the stunning views, and experience the charm of the region. After the hike, relax by the river and enjoy a delicious traditional Berber lunch at a local restaurant before heading back to Marrakech.
