Ourika Valley Day Trip from Marrakech

For nature lovers, this excursion to the Ourika Valley is the ideal plan. From Marrakech, located 60 kilometres north of the valley, you will head, with a professional guide, to this paradise full of Berber history and vegetation. The activity, which lasts approximately 7 to 10 hours, includes transport to and from the hotel.

During the adventure you will do different activities such as contemplating the waterfalls of Setti Fatma, the mountain village where almost all the inhabitants are of Berber descent. You can also visit a typical house of the village, the market and even see the work of the women's cooperative that produces argan oil.

The Ourika Valley is one of the best excursions to do in the Marrakech region. This area is crossed by the Ourika River and is surrounded by the landscape of the Atlas Mountains. Unlike the desert and arid part of Morocco, Ourika has rocky and vegetation parts, which makes it a special destination.

Don't hesitate to cool off at the waterfall in the village of Setti Fatma. Take pictures and immerse yourself in the life of its inhabitants. Entering a typical Berber house is quite an experience, where it is usually the father of the family who will show you around and offer you a mint tea . When you leave, they will often try to offer you the chance to buy some local handicrafts.
