Ourika Valley

Embark on a captivating journey from Marrakech to the Ourika Valley, located just 60 kilometers away, where the rugged beauty of the High Atlas Mountains meets the tranquil flow of a small river lined with lush trees. Departing from your hotel at 9 :00 am, the adventure begins with a scenic drive through the plain of Haouz, offering panoramic views of the Moroccan countryside.

As you venture deeper into the valley, you’ll have the opportunity to explore authentic Berber house where you have a mint tea with the local Berber family. Afterward, continue your journey 30 kilometers further to the Ourika Valley, a verdant oasis renowned for its year-round greenery and the meandering Oued (River) that traverses its landscape.

This tour offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Atlas Mountains, allowing you to discover the picturesque beauty of the valley and the Berber tribes that call it home. Setti Fatma, situated 65 kilometers south of Marrakech and nestled at an altitude of 1500 meters, serves as the endpoint of your exploration.

Here, the valley is dotted with douars (villages) clinging to the hillside, surrounded by abundant water that nourishes meadows, fields, and orchards. Many Marrakchis retreat to the Ourika Valley to escape the summer heat, either owning second homes or seeking refuge in hostels and hotels.

Setti Fatma offers a delightful setting for leisurely walks, with its charming village ambiance and breathtaking mountain vistas. Don’t miss the opportunity to embark on the iconic mountain trek leading to the cascade of seven waterfalls, a must-do experience for nature enthusiasts.

After the invigorating hike with the guide, you will have free time for lunch at one of the riverside restaurants, where you can savor traditional Moroccan cuisine while taking in the serene beauty of the surroundings. Your adventure concludes with a return journey to Marrakech, arriving around 5 p.m., filled with unforgettable memories of the Ourika Valley’s natural splendor and authentic Berber hospitality
