The Ourika Valley day trip from Marrakech offers a refreshing escape to the picturesque landscapes of the Atlas Mountains.

We pick you up from your hotel in Marrakech. The drive to the Ourika Valley takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours, making it an ideal destination for a day trip.

Upon arrival in the Ourika Valley, immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty. The valley is known for its lush greenery, terraced fields and traditional Berber villages. Take a leisurely stroll along the river banks and admire the panoramic views of the Atlas Mountains.

Explore one of the local Berber markets if your visit coincides with market day (usually Monday). These markets offer a dynamic display of local crafts, spices and traditional products. This is a great opportunity to interact with the local community.

Enjoy a traditional Moroccan lunch at a riverside restaurant. Many establishments offer terraces with panoramic views of the valley. Savor local specialties, such as tagines and couscous, while soaking up the tranquil atmosphere.

For those seeking adventure, consider a hike to the Setti Fatma Waterfalls. The trail takes you through picturesque landscapes, Berber villages and finally to the waterfalls. It’s a moderate hike that rewards you with breathtaking views.

Take a break for a refreshing mint tea at one of the mountainside cafes. The serene setting and mountain air create a perfect environment for relaxation and reflection.

As the afternoon progresses, begin your journey back to Marrakech. Take in the views one last time as you travel through the Atlas Mountains. We will drop you off at your hotel.
