Ourika Valley Day Trip from Marrakech

Depart from Marrakech in the Morning

Begin your journey with a convenient hotel pickup in Marrakech. Travel southeast in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle while enjoying views of olive groves, fruit orchards, and snow-capped peaks.

You’ll follow the path of the Ourika River, which carves its way through the mountains and nourishes the valley’s fertile lands.

Visit a Traditional Berber House

Stop by a local Berber home to learn more about mountain life. You’ll be welcomed with Moroccan mint tea and discover how families live in harmony with nature in this region.

It’s a unique cultural experience that offers insight into the simple yet rich traditions of rural Morocco.

Explore the Lush Ourika Valley

Continue deeper into the valley, passing through several picturesque villages clinging to the mountainsides. The air becomes cooler, and the views more dramatic as you approach the heart of the valley.

You’ll arrive in Setti Fatma, the most famous village in the area and a popular base for visitors.

Hike to the Waterfalls of Setti Fatma

A short guided hike takes you to the seven waterfalls above Setti Fatma. The trail winds along rocks and streams, offering stunning views and a refreshing reward at the top.

Wear comfortable shoes, and be prepared for a bit of a climb. The waterfalls are the perfect place to cool off and take amazing photos.

Enjoy a Riverside Lunch

After your hike, relax with a traditional Moroccan lunch at a riverside restaurant. Choose from dishes like tagine, couscous, or grilled meats while listening to the sound of the flowing river.

Many cafes even offer tables set in the water, creating a fun and memorable dining experience.

Leisure Time and Return to Marrakech

Spend the afternoon at your own pace. Shop for local crafts, sip mint tea, or just sit and take in the mountain serenity.

In the late afternoon, your driver will take you back to Marrakech, arriving by early evening.
