What To Expect
Marrakech
Escape the City – Road to the Atlas After the final pick-up at 9:00 AM, your journey begins as you drive out of Marrakech. Within minutes, the noise of the medina, the motorbikes, and the busy souks fade away. The road opens toward the High Atlas Mountains, where wide skies and fresh air replace the city’s heat and bustle. The landscape changes quickly — red earth, olive groves, and the first Berber villages appear, hinting at the adventure ahead. It’s the moment you feel you’ve truly left Marrakech behind and stepped into nature
Tnine Ourika
First Photo Stop – Ourika Valley Panorama About an hour into the drive, you reach your first viewpoint over the Ourika Valley. From here, the scene is breathtaking: the river cuts through the valley floor, villages cling to the hillsides, and snow-dusted Atlas peaks rise in the distance. It’s a perfect place to stretch your legs, breathe in the mountain air, and take your first photos of Morocco’s wild beauty — a glimpse of what awaits deeper in the valley.

5.00We had the most amazing day exploring the Ourika Valley with our incredible guide Mohammed and friendly driver Hisham! The hike through the stunning Atlas Mountains was absolutely breathtaking — peaceful trails, traditional Berber villages, and gorgeous views all around. Mohammed was knowledgeable, kind, and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. After the hike, we enjoyed a delicious lunch right next to the river, with the soothing sound of the water and incredible scenery all around. The food was authentic, fresh, and beautifully presented — definitely one of the best meals we had in Morocco! The service was excellent, very professional yet warm and personal. The whole experience felt very well organized and relaxed at the same time. We were also very impressed with the affordable price — amazing value for what you get! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Marrakech who wants to escape the city for a day and experience real nature, culture, and hospitality. A perfect mix of adventure, local experience, and relaxation. Don't miss it!
Fantastic

5.00We went to Ourika Valley with our Guide Larbi . It was a wonderful experience and everything was perfectly organised. Especially hiking through the mountains was my personal highlight of the trip. Definitely a great place to visit in Marrakesh. Still keep in mind that this a tourist attraction and would be busy
A perfect excursion to discover Ourika
