Full-Day Ourika Valley Excursion from Marrakech

Full day: Marrakech Ourika Valley Excursion.
Treat yourself to a day trip to the Atlas Mountains and enjoy a full day of unique experiences, history, and culture. Explore the Ourika Valley, one of Morocco’s most popular destinations.

Spend an entire day at the foot of the High Atlas, including a visit to a Berber family to discover the daily life of Berber villages and a women’s cooperative producing argan oil, a magical oil unique to Morocco.

The Ourika Valley is much more than a tourist destination: it is home to many plant species and the rare Barbary macaques. This excursion to the High Atlas is ideal for those who wish to admire the splendor of the High Atlas Mountains without climbing to the summit. The hike starts in a Berber village called “Setti Fadma.” You will walk with a local guide for an hour or more to the valley’s waterfalls.

At this spot, seven waterfalls offer a beautiful setting for taking photos. On the way back, you can have a drink by the river, then have lunch in a Berber family home.
