Overview

Mobile ticket
Our excursion to the Ourika Valley stands out for an authentic discovery of nature and Berber life, just an hour from Marrakech. We take you through green landscapes, traditional villages and to the waterfalls of Setti Fatma, with time to walk, breathe the clean Atlas air and enjoy the river. The experience is friendly and flexible, with a local Driver Guide who shares the culture and traditions of the area. Far from the quick visits, we favor calm, proximity to nature and a relaxed pace for a real break outside the city.

Excellent day out with a wonderful guide!

5.00Excellent day out to the Atlas Mountains, Ourika and Setti Fatma (this is the village from where it is a relatively short climb to see the first waterfall). Picked up on time and driven in a very comfortable air-conditioned 4x4 to the Ourika. stopped on the way at a photograph spot for mountain and camel shots and also at a women’s cooperative to see the production of Argan oil and other products. At Setti Fatma met our guide Ahmad. A local guy who was very knowledgeable kept stopping to check that we were okay and provide information as we went up the valley to the rocks and the waterfall. Very patient and helpful, especially as we were perhaps a little more slowly moving than he might be used to! Nothing was too much trouble and he is our guide of the week!⭐️ After visiting the waterfalls back down for a Riverside lunch and then home. he very enjoyable way to see the mountains and very glad we did it. The only thing we would suggest is wear a comfortable and grippy pair of shoes as the path up to the waterfalls is steep and can be a little loose and slippy. Otherwise a lovely day out. Recommend.
Everything is well organized - highly recommended!

5.00Everything worked out great. Very accommodating driver and also Said, our guide to the waterfall was extremely attentive. He got walking sticks for my girlfriend and went back the shorter way with her to spare her foot. Very caring. Thanks for everything. Doreen & Bianca

5.00It was a great experience and a beautiful trip to the mountains. We stopped at an argan oil cooperative, we had a cup of berbere tea, then we visited a traditional house. The best part was the hike on the mountains, our guide Hasan was great, gave us information and took care of us to get up and down safely. The view is amazing, the hike is a little difficult but it is worded, the view is amazing. The entire trip takes almost a day so be aware of that.
