Ourika Valley Day Trip From Marrakech

Your adventure begins at 8:30 AM with a pickup from your hotel or riad in Marrakech. Leave the Red City behind and travel to the beautiful Ourika Valley, nestled in the High Atlas Mountains.

Enjoy spectacular mountain scenery along the way and, if you visit on a Monday, explore a traditional Berber weekly market where locals trade fresh produce, spices, livestock, and handmade crafts.

Continue through picturesque Berber villages before visiting a traditional Berber family home. Enjoy a homemade Moroccan breakfast with fresh bread, olive oil, honey, and mint tea while learning about local customs and daily life.

Next, reach Setti Fatma, a charming mountain village known for its green landscapes and waterfalls. With a local guide, hike to the first waterfall and enjoy the fresh mountain air.

Visit a women’s Argan Oil Cooperative to learn how Morocco’s famous argan oil is traditionally produced. Lunch at a riverside restaurant is optional. Admire the valley’s terraces, orchards, and traditional farming before returning to Marrakech around 5:30 PM.
