- One-day trip from Marrakech to the Ourika Valley
Your day begins with a morning departure from Marrakech at 9:00 AM, as you leave the city behind and head toward the majestic High Atlas Mountains. As you travel along scenic mountain roads, enjoy breathtaking views and get a glimpse into the traditional lifestyle of the Berber communities that call this region home.
Upon arrival in the lush Ourika Valley—just 60 km from Marrakech—you’ll have time to explore at your own pace. Visit a women’s argan oil cooperative and learn how this prized Moroccan oil is traditionally made. Then, choose to relax in one of the valley’s charming riverside cafés, or take an optional hike to the famous waterfalls of Setti Fatma. The trek takes about 45 minutes along a steep, rocky path, so a good level of fitness is recommended.
As you walk through the valley and ascend the trail, you’ll be surrounded by stunning natural scenery, cascading waterfalls, and panoramic mountain views—perfect for nature lovers and photographers alike.
After your hike and some well-deserved rest or lunch at a traditional restaurant, you’ll begin the return journey to Marrakech in the early afternoon, bringing back unforgettable memories of Morocco’s natural beauty and cultural richness.
