Ourika Valley Waterfall Tour from Marrakech

This full-day tour from Marrakech suits travelers interested in nature, culture, and easy hiking in the Atlas Mountains.

Description

Experience a scenic drive through the Moroccan countryside to the Ourika Valley in the High Atlas Mountains, about an hour from Marrakech. Pass traditional Berber villages, terraced fields, and lush landscapes along the way. Visit an authentic Berber home to learn about local culture and daily life.

Explore the valley further, seeing the winding river, shaded orchards, and red clay houses perched on mountainsides. Visit a local women’s cooperative to observe traditional argan oil production and sample natural beauty products.

Enjoy a guided hike to the Setti Fatma waterfalls via rocky paths and wooden bridges, with cool mist and panoramic valley views. Wear comfortable shoes for this moderate hike. After, relax with a traditional Moroccan lunch by the river, featuring tagines, couscous, salads, and mint tea.
