Overview:
Discover the Berber mountain lifestyle and culture on this one-day trip from Marrakech to Ourika Valley. One of the most well-known day trips from Marrakech to explore the Atlas Mountains is to visit Setti Fatma village and its waterfalls. Ourika Valley is located just 60 km from Marrakech.
This day trip allows you to admire the Ourika River, from its source, all the way up to the city of Marrakech. Enjoy a stroll from Setti Fatma village, where you can cross the waterfalls one by one, and head towards the heart of the Ourika Valley, which is rooted in Atlas Mountains.
Discover the abundance of plants that exist on the red ground of the Ourika Valley and don’t miss the opportunity to meet the macaque.
Enjoy the variety of light in this place and take some amazing photos. Relax and enjoy the hearty Berber tagine at one of our valley’s many traditional restaurants.
This is the perfect activity for those who want to experience the High Atlas Mountains but don’t want to climb too high.
This 1 Day trip Marrakech – Ourika Valley takes you to one of the most beautiful valleys in Morocco, with several waterfalls. About 30 km south of Marrakech, around an hour drive from Marrakech.
We will travel through the Haouz plain and along the Ourika River, where there is always plenty of water.
We will visit a Berber home to learn about their culture and traditions. We will also have a lot of stops for taking photos of Berber villages in the High Atlas Mountains.
Proceed across the valley and make a stop at a women-run local cooperative selling Argan oil. Next, proceed to Setti Fatma village, situated around 1500 metres above sea level, where you may discover the most exquisite and enchanting settlements.
We will explore different cascades in Setti Fatma. We will return to the village after a short hike to have a delicious traditional lunch at a restaurant near the river.

The Mercedes Vito is a great option for a comfortable and luxurious trip across Morocco. It’s equipped with strong air conditioning, airbags all around, and spacious seats for safety and comfort. While it can fit up to 6 people, it’s especially ideal for smaller groups. And the bonus? There’s a mini-fridge onboard for storing your refreshments during the journey!
If you’re traveling around Morocco with a big family (up to 8 people), consider renting a Ford Torneo. It’s the largest van in its class and has plenty of room for passengers and luggage – up to 10 bags! The seats are comfy, and the van is tough enough to handle different weather conditions, like snow and rain. So, it’s a reliable and spacious choice for exploring Morocco safely.
If you’re traveling with a group to Morocco, consider the Mercedes Sprinter. It’s a luxurious and spacious bus that comfortably accommodates up to 17 people. Whether you’re on a short excursion or a leisurely tour through the Moroccan countryside, the Mercedes Sprinter will make your trip feel extra special.
