Why we love it?

This full-day tour from Marrakech takes you into the Atlas Mountains and the scenic Ourika Valley, known for its waterfalls and traditional Berber villages. After a 45-minute drive through olive groves, you’ll visit the weekly market at Tnine Ourika if your trip falls on a Monday, before continuing to Setti Fadma at the end of the tarmac road. Here, an expert mountain guide leads a 1.5-hour walk to explore the waterfalls, with the option to skip the hike and enjoy the riverside cafes and photo opportunities instead. Along the way, you’ll see Berber women extracting argan oil and have lunch at a local restaurant by the river. The tour includes private transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver and pickup from your accommodation in Marrakech. While the itinerary focuses on the natural landscapes and cultural experiences in the Atlas Mountains, your journey begins and ends in Marrakech, passing by the famous Jemaa el-Fnaa square, which is not included in the admission. This experience suits travelers interested in nature, local culture, and moderate walking.
