Why we love it?

This full-day tour from Marrakech takes you into the Atlas Mountains to explore the lush Ourika Valley, known for its almond, peach, and walnut trees, as well as the traditional Berber villages perched on the hillsides. You’ll visit a Berber family house to enjoy fresh mint tea and take a 15-minute camel ride before heading to Setti Fadma, the gateway to the famous Ourika Valley waterfalls. A professional mountain guide leads a 1.5-hour walk to discover the seven cascades, offering stunning views and the chance to see local Berber women producing argan oil. The tour includes private, air-conditioned transport with pickup and drop-off in Marrakech but does not cover lunch or admission to the waterfalls, which you can explore at your own pace.
