Description

Escape the busy streets of Marrakech and journey into the fresh mountain air of the Atlas Mountains on a full-day small-group tour to the beautiful Ourika Valley. Just a short drive from the city, this lush green valley is a favorite retreat for travelers seeking waterfalls, Berber culture, and unforgettable outdoor recreation in nature. Your day begins with a comfortable pickup and a scenic drive through olive groves, orchards, and traditional Berber villages. Along the way, you’ll stop at a welcoming local family home to enjoy a glass of mint tea and learn about daily life in the High Atlas. This authentic cultural moment offers a unique insight into one of Morocco’s most cherished traditions. The journey continues with a visit to a women’s argan oil cooperative, where artisans demonstrate the traditional process of producing Morocco’s famous oil. Discover its cosmetic and culinary uses, support local craftswomen, and taste fresh argan products directly from the source. As you travel deeper into the valley, you’ll arrive at Setti Fatma, a picturesque village set beside the river. Here, your professional mountain guide will lead you on a refreshing hike along scenic trails toward the famous Ourika waterfalls. The walk is moderate, accessible to most visitors, and offers stunning views of rivers, red rocks, and lush mountain landscapes. You will have plenty of time to take photos and soak in the serene beauty of the Atlas Mountains. After the hike, unwind at a peaceful riverside restaurant and enjoy a freshly prepared Moroccan three-course meal. This includes a starter, main course, and dessert if the lunch option is selected. Vegetarian options are available, and the calming sound of the river creates the perfect atmosphere for relaxation. Throughout the day, the small-group setting ensures a more personalized experience, allowing you to explore hidden corners and enjoy a relaxed pace away from the crowds. Your guide and driver will share insights, assist with photos, and make sure you fully experience the charm of the Ourika Valley. In the afternoon, you’ll return comfortably to Marrakech with beautiful photos, fresh mountain air in your lungs, and lasting memories of one of the most accessible and enchanting valleys in the Atlas Mountains.
