About this tour

Start your day in Marrakech, then head out for a refreshing escape into nature. The tour typically takes around 7–8 hours, covering transport out to Ourika Valley, visits to cultural & natural spots, and return to Marrakech in the afternoon.
It’s ideal for travellers who want a break from the hustle of the city and a glimpse of mountain and rural Morocco.

This tour gives travelers a chance to leave the city behind and enter a tranquil valley where green orchards, traditional adobe Berber homes, rushing river and mountain-backdrop create a beautiful contrast to Marrakech’s busy medina. On the way, you’ll learn about local life of the Amazigh (Berber) communities, taste mint tea with a view, see argan oil production, and (if you choose) hike up to the waterfalls of Setti Fatma. The route is easy/moderate; hikers and non-hikers alike can enjoy it since the walking is optional.

Highlights

  • Visit the lush Ourika Valley nestled in the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains.
  • Explore a women’s argan-oil cooperative and learn about local production.
  • Wander through traditional Berber villages and/or visit the local Monday market (if it falls on a Monday).
  • Optional short hike to the picturesque waterfalls at Setti Fatma for fresh mountain air and scenic views.
  • Riverside lunch or relaxing stop beside the river for mint tea and a view of the valley.

Included/Excluded

  • Hotel/riad pick‐up and drop‐off in Marrakech.
  • Air‐conditioned vehicle / transport.
  • English-speaking driver (and sometimes local guide) depending on the provider.

  • Lunch & drinks (unless specified) – many tours say lunch is not included.
