Ourika Valley Day Trip from Marrakech

At about 60 kilometers from Marrakech you will discover a hidden jewel. Join us on the Ourika Valley Day Trip as we explore the amazing landscape in the High Atlas Mountains, a place full of contrasts and sand-colored houses that blend in with the lush greenery of the mountains. This is definitely one of the best-preserved valleys that gives way to a steep gorge and rocky landscapes, rivers and crystal clear waterfalls.

Accompanied by an Spanish speaking guide wander around the vibrant souks filled with local gastronomy, craftsmanship and other goods. There´s also the option of visiting a traditional Berber house where you will hear all about everyday life and their village and then be offered a traditional tea and shown some handmade products.

Visit the main must-see places in Ourika like the city´s traditional markets where every day thousands of people gather to buy and share smells and tastes of Marrakech.

This is one of the most popular trips for those wishing to explore the souks and learn about local customs in the North of Africa. Choose our trip and you won´t have to worry in the least about transport in Morocco. Setti-Fatma is our last stop, this small village which boasts traditional charm has an outstanding landscape with a number of cascades. There will be time to stop for a bite to eat (we recommend you choose a menu to share between two), to take some snaps, have a rest and for the more adventurous, a visit to the striking Ourika cataracts accompanied by a local guide.

Once in Ourika, there will be some free time for you to roam around at your own pace. The first of the falls is an easy walk but be aware that you need to be physically fit if you are thinking of visiting the other six, perfect for adventurous travelers. A good pair of sturdy shoes and comfy clothes will be required as you discover the jewel of Morocco on this Ourika Valley Day Trip.
