La sortie etait parfaite! Le point de rendez vous était tout proche de notre riad, 5 minutes à pieds. Notre chauffeur Ayoub était parfait pour l'accueil, la conduite au top, il nous a donné pleines d'informations,très gentil, souriant et professionnel. Ensuite les différentes visites ont été très bien aussi: les différents points de vue pour admirer le paysage et prendre des photos, les différentes boutiques. Notre guide de montage Ibraim a été au top : professionnel, bienveillant, aidait certains a descendre ou à monter s'ils étaient en difficulté. Le repas au bord de l'Ourica insolite. Je recommanderai volentier cette activité. Merci à vous.

The day went really nice and smooth. We only booked our trip the day before, but had confirmation on the evening and communication from our driver to confirm the pick-up time. We got upgraded to a private trip as there were 6 of us, which was so much nicer with children. The walk up to the waterfall was great fun and the guide we had was brilliant with our very chatty son. I thought the price was also really good in comparison to the hotel excursions. Highly recommend.

Superbe journée dans la vallée de l'ourika. Un chauffeur attentif et très sympathique. Le guide de la vallée s'est montré très serviable avec mon beau père atteint de parkinson et attentionné envers chacun de nous. Le repas était complet et très bon. Je recommande cette expérience.

We had a wonderful day on this trip. Mohsin is a very good driver and told us a lot of good stories and answered all the questions we had. Mohsin speaks perfect English and Français. I would recommend him as driver to all my friends in Marrakech. Aziz as guide was amazing as well. My mother had some physical difficulties to climb to the waterfalls, but Aziz helped her all the way up with his motivational strength. The only downside, it's very very busy. If you expect to have a nature hike, you will be dissatisfied

Fantastic excursion. Pre-meeting arrangements easy to make by WhatsApp. Picked up at arranged time and location by very helpful Mouhssine who was very welcoming and helpful. He checked in throughout the day to make sure everything was going ok. Unique trip with good stopping points, places of interest and photo opportunities. A reasonably challenging mountain walk to see the waterfalls. Stout shoes, good balance and strong knees recommended! Lovely lunch by the stunning river. An excellent day excursion. Highly recommended. Thanks to all.

Belle rencontre avec une famille berbère pour le rituel du thé, dégustation de pain, miel, huile d'olive et beurre ; découverte du tournage de poterie ; rencotre avec la coopérative des femmes pour la production d'huile d'Argan et visite des cascades fournies en cette saison suivi d'un bon repas au bord de la rivière. Mention spéciale pour notre guide Morad pour ces connaissances et sa bienveillance. A faire !

I have mixed feelings about the tour. Our 'guide' acted mainly as driver, not as a guide. He was friendly and everything, but mostly only reacted when asked a question. I would have expected to learn a little bit about the Ourika Valley, the people who live there, the valley's culture and development. He mainly dropped us off at the points of interest (e. g. the Berber village) and them let other guides took over. Those (the one living in the Berber house, the other who took us up to the first waterfall) were OK, to be fair. The food at the banks of the Ourika valley was a disaster, the chicken was dry and also the vegetable Tajine was bland, at best. No wonder the guide did not eat with us at all. It was also way overpriced - one would have had to pay 130 dirhams for the "three-course menu". So save the money and buy lunch at a different place. Overall, I would not book this tour again unless something was done in terms of quality control.

Superbe journée dans la vallée de l'ourika. Un chauffeur attentif et très sympathique. Le guide de la vallée s'est montré très serviable avec mon beau père atteint de parkinson et attentionné envers chacun de nous. Le repas était complet et très bon. Je recommande cette expérience.

Escape Marrakech for a full day in the Atlas Mountains, where you'll see Berber villages, learn about argan oil production, and hike to cascading waterfalls fed by mountain snowmelt.

Getting started

Your driver picks you up from your hotel or riad in Marrakech between 8:30-9:00am in an air-conditioned minivan. If your accommodation is in the old medina and not accessible by car, you'll meet at a nearby pickup point (confirmed by email the day before). Have your booking confirmation ready. Pickup details will be sent via email the day before your trip (usually by 5pm), or shortly after booking for last-minute reservations.

What to expect

A full day exploring the High Atlas foothills. You'll drive through mountain scenery, stop at Tnine Ourika village, visit a Berber home, see argan oil being handmade, and hike with a local mountain guide to Setti Fatma waterfalls. The tour includes regular photo stops at panoramic viewpoints overlooking the valley and mountains.

Features

Scenic Atlas Mountains drive: Leave Marrakech and wind through the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains. Pass red hills, terraced fields, olive groves, and traditional Berber villages set against mountain peaks. The road follows the Ourika River as you climb toward the valley.

Tnine Ourika village stop: Stop at Tnine Ourika, a traditional Berber village with a weekly Monday souk. See locals trading spices, produce, textiles, and crafts at the bustling market if your tour falls on a Monday. On other days, you'll pass through the village and continue into the mountains.

Women's argan oil cooperative: Watch Berber women crack argan nuts between stones and press the kernels to extract oil. Learn why this "liquid gold" only grows in Morocco and how the cooperative supports local women's livelihoods.

Berber home visit: Step inside a traditional adobe house built into the mountainside to see thick walls, handwoven carpets, and low seating areas. Meet a local family and learn how daily life revolves around farming, animal herding, and seasonal rhythms.

Ourika Valley arrival: Reach the heart of Ourika Valley, where lush greenery contrasts with the rocky Atlas peaks. The valley is fed by snowmelt from the High Atlas, creating a green oasis just 60km from Marrakech.

Waterfall hike: Walk from Setti Fatma village (elevation 1,500m) up to the first of seven waterfalls at 1,700m. The rocky trail climbs 200 meters in elevation alongside the river, crossing wooden bridges. Your local guide leads the 1-hour hike and points out the remaining 6 waterfalls visible from viewpoints along the path.

Riverside setting: Relax by the Ourika River, where cafés and restaurants line the banks. If you've upgraded to lunch, enjoy a 3-course meal with mountain views before returning to Marrakech.

You'll return to Marrakech with drop-off at your hotel or a different location in the city if requested.
