Transfer from Marrakech to Ourika Valley - Meeting with local tour guide - Transfer back to Marrakech

The Ourika Valley, located about 30 kilometres south of Marrakech, is a tourist destination in Morocco, renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and rich Berber culture. Located in the foothills of the High Atlas, the valley offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage.

One of the main attractions of the valley is the village of Setti-Fatma, known for its seven waterfalls. These waterfalls are accessible through hiking trails that require good footwear and a suitable physical condition, as the terrain can be steep and slippery.

Throughout the valley, visitors can explore traditional Berber villages, where it is common to be received in local houses to taste mint tea and learn about the daily lives of its inhabitants. In addition, weekly markets, such as Ourika on Mondays and Aghbalou on Thursdays, offer an authentic view of local culture and the opportunity to acquire crafts and fresh products.

The biodiversity of the valley is remarkable, with abundant vegetation that includes cherry orchards and almond trees, especially vibrant between February and April. The river Ourika, which winds through the valley, adds a picturesque touch to the landscape and provides ideal places to relax by the water.

For those interested in culture and nature, the Ourika Valley is a must-see that combines spectacular landscapes with an immersion in Berber tradition.
