Overview

Less than two hours from Marrakech, the Ourika Valley feels like another world: cooler air, running water, terraced fields and Berber villages clinging to the slopes of the High Atlas.

This private excursion is a gentle day out — a walk to the waterfalls near Setti Fatma, a long lunch by the river and a drive up to Oukaimeden for wide mountain views. It suits families and anyone who wants a break from the city.
