Day Trip from Marrakech to Ourika Valley

Your private day trip begins in the morning with a pick-up from your accommodation in Marrakech. Drive south toward the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains while the landscape gradually changes from the Marrakech plain to beautiful mountain scenery. Along the way, enjoy panoramic views of traditional villages, agricultural terraces and the Ourika River. You can stop in a local village to discover traditional mountain life and learn more about the communities living in the valley. Continue toward Setti Fatma, one of the most popular villages in the Ourika Valley.

Take time to explore the village, relax beside the river or enjoy a walk toward the waterfalls with a local guide. You can also visit a local argan oil cooperative depending on the day’s schedule. After exploring the valley, enjoy free time for lunch at a local restaurant beside the river. In the afternoon, begin the return journey toward Marrakech with several opportunities for photographs and scenic stops. Arrive back in Marrakech in the late afternoon or early evening after an enjoyable day surrounded by the natural beauty of the High Atlas Mountains.
