Splendid Ourika Valley day trip My mother and I went on a day trip from Marrakesh to the Ourika valley with Ali and Omar- and had a wonderful time. Our guides are such pleasant gentlemen, who took care of my mother, whilst assuring that I got to see everything. We were given good information about everything we saw and got to stop at a Berber home (with a wonderful Berber mama who took great joy in having us in her home), at an Organic Cooperative and at a rickety bridge across a valley that I was satisfied to cross (as Omar gleefully took pictures of my precarious steps) When we got to the Sitti Fatima, my mother stayed at a restaurant with a wonderful view of the river with Ali, whilst Omar guided me up to the waterfall itself- it was a great climb, and he was generous sufficient to take to role of photographer!

Best 1-Day trip Marrakech to Ourika valley My husband and I took a day trip from Marrakech to Ourika and it was above our expectations, our guide Ahmed was so patient and knowledgeable. When reached, we saw plenty of magnificent views and we have enough stops to take beautiful pictures. The local restaurant we had lunch in was reasonable, and they serve very delicious food. Special thanks to Said who respond to us quickly and clearly. I 100% recommend it to everyone!
