Ourika Valley Day Trip from Marrakech
About This Experience
Just 60 km from Marrakech, the Ourika Valley is an oasis of freshness at the foot of the High Atlas Mountains. It is the perfect escape to flee the heat and bustle of the city, offering green landscapes, rushing rivers, and authentic adobe Berber villages hanging on the slopes.
During this excursion, you will visit a traditional Berber house to learn about their lifestyle, stop at argan oil cooperatives, and take a guided hike to the seven waterfalls of Setti Fatma. Lunch is served in restaurants with terraces by the river, where you can relax with the sound of water.
