Escape the city heat and journey into the stunning Ourika Valley, the closest and most accessible valley in the High Atlas Mountains from Marrakech. Known for its vibrant green landscapes, refreshing river, and traditional Berber villages clinging to the mountainsides, this tour offers a wonderful mixture of nature, light adventure, and authentic culture. The highlight of the day is reaching the scenic mountain village of Setti Fatma, home to seven beautiful waterfalls.
Riad or Hotel
09:00 AM
Refreshing & Fresh: The air in Ourika is naturally cooler than Marrakech. Sitting right next to the flowing mountain water provides instant relaxation.
Light Adventurous Trekking: The walk to the first waterfall in Setti Fatma involves a bit of scrambling over rocks and crossing wooden footbridges. It’s highly engaging and fun!
Lively Local Atmosphere: Especially on hot days, the riverbanks are bustling with color, traditional Moroccan decor, and relaxed outdoor diners.
Enjoy a convenient pickup from your Marrakech hotel or Riad. We leave the red city behind and head south toward the High Atlas foothills.
As the landscape turns green, we enter the valley. Stop to take panoramic photos of old Berber villages and visit a traditional Argan oil house.
Arrive at the end of the road in Setti Fatma. Meet your local guide for a fun, adventurous walk up the trails to discover the mountain’s beautiful waterfalls.
Head back down to the riverbanks. Relax at a scenic café and savor a sizzling, slow-cooked tagine while keeping your feet cool in the gentle mountain stream.
Re-board your comfortable vehicle for a relaxing drive back, arriving in Marrakech by late afternoon with a drop-off at your hotel.
