Ourika day trip from Marrakech

The Ourika day trip from Marrakech promises a picturesque and cultural escape to the majestic High Atlas Mountains.

The journey begins with you collecting from your accommodation then an early morning departure from Marrakech, winding through the picturesque foothills as the cityscape gradually transforms into rustic terrain.

The Ourika valley, with its lush greenery and terraced fields, reveals itself as a breathtaking setting. Upon arrival, visitors can explore the traditional Berber villages scattered along the valley, immersing themselves in the local way of life. One of the highlights of the day includes visiting the village of Setti Fatma, known for its waterfalls and seven sacred water springs.

You can head to the waterfalls, enjoy stunning views of the surrounding mountains, and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the area. Along the way, meet local artisans who offer artisanal products that highlight the cultural richness of the region. Lunch at a local restaurant offering traditional Berber cuisine makes for a tasty interlude.

The late afternoon return trip to Marrakech provides an opportunity to reflect on a day filled with mountainous landscapes, cultural exploration and the warm hospitality of the Ourika Valley.
