For all hotels within Marrakech, you will be picked up from your hotel. If you are staying in a riad in the Medina, you will be picked up from a meeting point close to your riad. This is generally the nearest accessible point for the minibus as they are often unable to drive down the narrow streets where riads are located.

Great day trip! Our guide Hassan and driver Jamal were both excellent. We enjoyed the restaurant by the river, such a unique experience. Food was excellent and well priced, tagine cooked on an open grill. The hike was perfect, 1.5 hours. I recommend to others to wear proper shoes ( sneakers or running shoes, not flip flops) as there are slippery spots going up and down on the hike. I recommend this day trip from Marrakesh to enjoy nature and Atlas Mountains.

Full description

Escape the city and dive into the magic of the Atlas Mountains on this unforgettable day trip from Marrakech to the stunning Ourika Valley.

Your adventure begins at 09:30 with a private driver whisking you away from the buzz of Marrakech into the heart of the High Atlas Mountains. As you wind through breathtaking landscapes, discover the charm of the Ourika Valley—famous for its lush greenery, cascading waterfalls, and traditional Berber villages tucked into the hillsides.

Step into the daily life of a local Berber family and gain insight into their rich culture and time-honored traditions. Then, head to the picturesque village of Setti Fatma (Sti Fadma), a peaceful retreat nestled at the southern tip of the valley.

Lace up your walking shoes to explore the village's iconic 7 waterfalls, each offering captivating views and a refreshing mountain breeze. After your hike, unwind with a delicious lunch at a riverside restaurant, where you can soak in the tranquil surroundings and the soothing sound of flowing water.

As the day winds down, enjoy a scenic ride back to Marrakech, arriving around 17:30 with your spirit refreshed and your camera full of memories.
