Belhadej and Achraf were very dedicated, concerned about everyone's well-being. Special mention to Belhadej for the atmosphere. An excursion worth the detour, with breathtaking landscapes both from the altitude and the beauty of the waterfalls.
Merci beaucoup pour votre magnifique avis ! ❤️ Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié l’excursion ainsi que les paysages de l’Ourika. Vos compliments à Belhadej et Achraf nous font très plaisir et seront transmis avec joie. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau au Maroc !
It was an unforgettable experience. A wonderful place, both from a scenic and human perspective. Our driver was very kind, patient, and welcoming. Personally, I filled him with questions, but he was cordial and always answered everything, in addition to giving us good advice. We made two stops along the way, one to see the landscape and take some photos, and the second to see the production of Argan oil and the various products derived from its processing, as well as a typical Berber house. Upon our arrival at the Ourika Valley, we were welcomed by a local guide, who was very helpful and kind. I won't say anything more about the hike in the mountains because it will be an emotion for you to discover it firsthand. The spoiler I can share is that it is a magical, unique place that evokes many emotions.

Perfect excursion from start to finish! The ride was pleasant, with a beautiful discovery of the Ourika Valley and a very interesting stop at the women’s cooperative. The lunch break was in a beautiful setting, really exotic. The hike was very pleasant despite a bit of mixed weather, but it did not spoil the experience. Special mention to our guide Abdel, who was exceptional throughout the day: professional, caring, passionate, he knew how to guide us, accompany us, while sharing many explanations and tips on the site. An experience I recommend 100%
