Ourika Valley Day Trip from Marrakech
- Duration: Full day (about 9 hours)
- Starts in: Marrakech
- Private
From €37 per person
An Ourika Valley day trip from Marrakech is the easiest escape from the heat and bustle of the city. In about an hour you are in the foothills of the High Atlas, where the river runs past terraced fields, walnut trees and red-earth villages.
We stop for mint tea in a Berber family home, visit a women's argan cooperative, then have lunch at a riverside café in Setti Fatma before walking up to the waterfalls. The walk is short but rocky; you go as far as you feel like.
