Itinerary
our first stop is a picturesque viewpoint, offering a panoramic vista of the surrounding Berber villages nestled in the valleys. Capture the beauty of the rugged mountains and lush greenery as you breathe in the fresh mountain air.
visit a local women’s cooperative, where you’ll enjoy a traditional Berber breakfast. Savor a complete traditional breakfast consisting of mint tea, argan oil, olive oil, honey, amlou, and baked bread while learning about the cooperative’s inspiring work. These women are dedicated to preserving Berber traditions through handicrafts, argan oil production, and other local products. It’s a wonderful opportunity to support their community and gain insight into their daily lives.
The adventure continues as you arrive in the charming village of Setti Fatma, the gateway to the Ourika Valley’s famous waterfalls. Accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide, you’ll embark on a scenic hike through the valley, passing terraced fields, traditional Berber homes, and crystal-clear streams. The hike leads to the stunning waterfalls, where you can take a refreshing dip or simply marvel at the natural beauty. (Note: The hike can be adjusted to suit your fitness level, and pregnant women or those who prefer to relax can enjoy the serene riverside instead.)
After your hike, unwind with a delicious 3-course meal served by the river. Feast on traditional Moroccan dishes made with fresh, local ingredients while listening to the soothing sounds of the flowing water. This is the perfect way to relax and reflect on the day’s adventures. Once you’ve finished your meal, you’ll head back to Marrakech, arriving in the late afternoon with unforgettable memories of the Ourika Valley.

Abdelhadi was amazing. Top guide. Very polite and professional.
Our tour guide Abdelhadi was amazing and the experience was phenomenal.
We had a really enjoyable day visiting the Ourika Valley and Atlas Mountains. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and it was lovely to experience a different side of Morocco away from the busy city of Marrakech. The trip was well organised, and we particularly enjoyed seeing the mountains, visiting the local areas and walking to the waterfalls. Our guide was friendly and helpful throughout the day and made the experience enjoyable. It was a long but worthwhile day, with plenty of opportunities to take photos and enjoy the incredible scenery. Overall, we had a lovely experience and would definitely recommend this trip to anyone wanting to explore the Atlas Mountains and Ourika Valley while staying in Marrakech. Thank you for a great day!
The experience was fantastic, all was perfect!
It was very nice. And the views were amazing. Definitely recommend. The tour guide Ibrahim was very nice and very helpful.
A great experience in the Atlas Mountains, worth the price with Ibrahim. We enjoyed the waterfall and spectacular views during the trek. The lunch was probably the highlight as both food, views and service were amazing. It's important to note that the walk can be advanced and may not work for young children or families.
It was a great experience from beginning to end. Hussein was very nice. Picked us up at our riad and started the journey. He let us know what was going on with an overview of the trip before we started and introduced us to our new guides and driver.
It has been a great experience for me, and a real bargain for the price paid!! Pick-up time was on point, Hussain has arrived exactly at the time he announced and has been of such a great help throughout the excursion and for any help/adjustment I needed he was available! I definitely recommend
Excellent day, would do it again!! Thanks to Brahim and Abdelrazak. Great service, thank you very much for this day.
Very good, thank you, I loved it, Ibrahim is great.
