Discover the Beauty of Ourika Valley – A Day Trip from Marrakech
Ourika Valley is one of the most popular destinations for both locals and travelers from around the world. Located just south of Marrakech, this stunning region offers breathtaking landscapes and authentic Berber culture.
The departure from Marrakech starts at the scheduled time. We will drive through picturesque Berber villages and admire the beautiful countryside along the way. Our first stop is at a traditional Berber house, where you will have the chance to explore the home and enjoy panoramic views of the village and surrounding mountains from the rooftop terrace. Here, a Berber woman will teach you the art of preparing classic Moroccan mint tea, followed by a traditional Moroccan breakfast featuring fresh bread, olive oil, jam, and honey.
Next, get ready for a fun of a half an hour camel ride through the valley’s scenic terrain, immersing yourself in the peaceful rural atmosphere.
Our journey continues to Setti Fatma, a charming village nestled in the Atlas Mountains. From here, we will embark on a moderate 1.5-hour hike to discover the famous “Seven Waterfalls.” Along the trail, enjoy spectacular views of the Ourika Valley and its quaint villages.
After the hike, relax and refuel with a delicious lunch at a local Berber restaurant. Then, we will return to Marrakech by a different route, giving you a chance to see even more of the region’s diverse landscapes
