We had a wonderful experience on this tour! Our driver and guide, Kamal, was excellent very friendly, helpful and informative throughout the trip. He made the experience even more enjoyable and we would highly recommend this tour especially Kamal to be driver . The pottery and argan oil-making stops were interesting and gave us a great insight into the local culture and traditional crafts. The products at the argan oil stop were quite expensive compared with those in the Medina market, although the quality may be worth the difference. The walk to Ourika valley was so fabulous and even lunch with the nature was the best experience.Overall, it was a fantastic tour and we thoroughly enjoyed it! 🌟

Nous avons passé une très belle journée lors de notre excursion dans la vallée d'Ourika avec Kamal, notre guide très sympa et qui nous a appris plein de choses tout au long du trajet et de la journée. Visite du village Berbère, d'une fabrique de tapis, d'une coopérative de fabrication de produits à base d'huile d'argan, montée à la cascade, sans compter le traditionnel repas au bord du cours d'eau. Journée bien remplie et très instructive. Nous étions un petit groupe et conseillons tous de faire cette journée à Ourika, même si c'est très touristique.

Nous avons été pris en charge par Ossman à l'heure et l'endroit qu'il nous avait précisé et envoyé une photo du véhicule avec la plaque. La veille nous avions eu la confirmation de l'heure et du rendez-vous. Donc très bien. Le véhicule a été très confortable. Ossman a eu une très bonne conduite malgré la route de montagne qui mène à Setti Fatma ,ainsi que la circulation sur les routes marocaines. Ossman a été très sympathique, a répondu à nos questions. Ça a été très agréable. Nous n'avons pas fait la petite randonnée jusqu'aux sources de l’Ourika, ( parce que trop vieux 😢). Mais ci join ci dessous les photos des de la rivière où l'on peut manger les pieds dans l'eau 👍 c'est super et typique. En plus u les 40° qu'il fait à Marrakech en cette mi-septembre, un peu de fraîcheur nous a fait du bien. Pour terminer 5/5 pour tout Je recommande headout et Marrakech tours pour leur prestation. Et 6/5 pour Ossman qui a été très prévenant et très sympathique.

Le chauffeur était très sympa ainsi que notre guide pour la petite randonnée jusqu'à la cascade. La vallée d'Ourika est magnifique et nous avons apprécié le repas assis sur des coussins au bord de la rivière les pieds dans l'eau! Merci

Le chauffeur et le guide ont été extraordinaires et d'une gentillesse sans nom. Cependant, certaines étapes du tour sont de réels attrape touristes (arrêt pour photos et maison berbère). De son côté, l'excursion vers les cascades est agréable ainsi que le dîner au bord de la rivière.

Kamal is a great and very kind driver, he told us many things and was helpful throughout the day. The Ourika region is beautiful and worth a visit. A nice day out of the business of the city.

Good trip, good driver, good guide. Thankyouu so muchhhhhhh 😎

Escape Marrakesh 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 Marrakesh 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 Marrakesh 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 Marrakesh.

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 Marrakesh.

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