Day trip to Atlas Mountains Ourika Valley and Berber Villages
Ourika valley day trip is the closest day trip destination from Marrakech, due to its many waterfalls and wondeful nature, it is a very popular attraction , the Ourika valley spreads between the first foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Despite it being so close to Marrakech, this beautiful lush green valley is definitely one of the best preserved valleys in Morocco. At about 64km from Marrakech, the village lays at the end of the road, but an offroad (to Timichi) and then a mule track continues up the valley to pass to Tacheddirt and Oukaimeden, which has the best skiing station in Morocco and interesting prehistoric rock carvings. The path also continues through the mountain to Imlil and Toubkal, making it a useful starting/finishing point for trekkers. So this day trip to the picturesque village of Ourika will allow you to experience some of the beauty of the North African countryside without sacrificing the comforts of your hotel or riad. Going arround the valley takes a bit of effort and good shoes and comfy clothes, there is a little bit of climbing rocks here and there to reach all the seven waterfalls of Setti Fatma . All treks are led and supervised by qualified and experienced guides and mule handlers, drawn from the local populace. You will also be crossing many berber bridges to get from one side of the valley to the other, a great spot to catch some wonderful panoram.
Tour Reviews
Excellent tour and brilliant guide who does everything he can to make the experience as rememberable as possible , the locations you go to are interesting and beautiful, would recommend to anyone.
The highlight of our trip to Morocco, partly because of what we saw and mostly because Muhammad, our guide, was amazing. Within five minutes of knowing him, you feel as if you are traveling with a family member. He knows where to take you, but he is also open to hearing about what you want to see – and he will adapt the itinerary to make sure your day is exactly how you want it to be. About the trip: Muhammad took us to the beautiful Ourika Valley where we took a short hike along the water, walked through a small Berber area, sat beside a small waterfall for tea and stopped for a nice lunch beside the creek. Muhammad took us to a Berber collective to browse rugs that come in from various regions in the Atlas Mountains. Along the way we learned about his family, talked to them on the phone and learned about his life before he moved to Marrakech, when he lived in a nomadic camp in the Sahara desert. Although they moved into a home some time ago, they (and he) have retained the qualities of hospitality and adventure that make him such an impressive guide. Don’t miss the chance to see Morocco with him.
Amazing trip! The tour guide were lovely and very friendly they kept you informed on all the history and are very helpful. The tranport is very clean and comfortable you really can’t ask for any more!
Beautiful place, with a very informative and sweet guide. We had the best day, where we were introduced to the life in the mountains. Also the best driver. We enjoyed it all. Thank you.🙏🏼
Very friendly and answered any questions we had. Enjoyed the trip and let us go at our own pace and listened to what we wanted to see.
We had the most amazing day with Muhammad. He is adorable, smart, sweet, cool, curious so pleasant to be around and sooo accommodating. And also really witty!
We didn’t want to end the trip and booked him for another day. Highly recommended.
We had the goal of hitting the Ourika Valky but also really wanted to shop for rugs and learn about morrocan tile. He helped us to accomplish it all!
Seriously you won’t regret.
Had a great experience on this trip. Both our driver and guide were so friendly and made sure we had the best time!
Thank you.
