Private Tour
Mountain excursion Ourika Valley and Berber village
Overview
Available languages
8 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Among the most beautiful natural regions accessible from Marrakech is the Ourika Valley, set in the heart of the peaks of the High Atlas.
Discovering this region is an opportunity to dive into the heart of authentic Morocco, preserved from rampant urban development. Staying in Marrakech without visiting the Ourika Valley would simply be a shame.
When you set out to conquer the Ourika Valley, it is impossible to resist the charm of the region, as the ecosystem is so preserved.
It is often difficult to imagine that you are only 40 km from the teeming city of Marrakech. The Ourika Valley is characterized above all by a green environment where the river from which it takes its name meanders sometimes lazily, sometimes briskly depending on the intensity of the slopes of the High Atlas. A trail very popular with tourists allows you to discover a series of seven waterfalls.

5.00Great driver and trip/experiences with Jamal. He was not a driver, but hands on concierge, tour guide and everything! He was lovely suggesting things to do that he thought we’d enjoy, at no cost/commission like some drivers, picking us up and dropping us whenever we needed him. He went out of his way to make sure we had the best seats in the desert, the perfect spots for sunsets, the best off the beaten track sights and such more
Great ride

5.00Jamal was excellent. We went on a Monday so also went to Berber market. Plus village and women’s Co-operative. We had lunch by the river and then trekked up to the waterfall. It was our best day of the holiday. Jamal was so friendly and helpful. He also took us to the Medina and did our airport transfers.
