Full description
Experience the beauty of the Ourika Valley up-close on this full-day scenic tour from Marrakesh, and escape the hustle and bustle of the city for the day.
The Ourika Valley is the closest day trip from Marrakesh, but it’s not just its convenience that makes it special.
Drive towards the Atlas Mountains, taking in the beautiful landscape of green meadows and authentic 16th and 17th-century Berber villages. If you take your tour on a Monday, you can even stop at a roadside souk.
See fruit orchards, vegetable terraces, and villages clinging to the side of hills. Marvel at the labor undertaken by the Berbers who hoisted materials to construct small houses up mountainsides, and work the terraces in a hostile environment.
Continue along the valley of palm trees, following the Ourika River. Fruit trees, tiny hamlets, riverside restaurants, and the summer homes of the wealthy will keep you occupied. Go to Setti Fatma to feel the refreshing waters.
Feel the spray on your face as you cool down from the African heat, along with the locals of Marrakech who have made it their favorite weekend retreat.

5The trip itself was so beautiful along with the beautiful sights. The tour guide ilyas was really nice and friendly. Made my parents feel so comfortable when they were unable to walk properly. He was really friendly and taken us to beautiful places. We even made stops to take pictures of the stunning sights. Definitely would book with them again.
5The day was amazing, we hiked up the mountain to the beautiful waterfall. The hike was thrilling and exciting as you traverse through the mountain trail to get to the top with spectacular views on either side with a local guide. There are lots of shops and fresh juice places along the whole way and you stop at the top for some tea or drinks. The driver Youssef and guide Ilyas were great and made sure we were looked after. We stopped at an Argan Oil Women’s co operative and a traditional Berber house along the way. We ended the day by having food right by the river which was amazing. This was extremely well priced for the day and would recommend to anyone who is capable to walk up the mountain.
