Day trip to Ourika Valley from Marrakech
Day trip to Ourika Valley: This tour takes you to a lush green valley located approximately 60 km from Marrakech, offering a delightful introduction to the majestic Atlas Mountains. The route from Marrakech to the valley is adorned with gardens, palm trees, fruit trees, small villages, and traditional Berber houses. Within the valley, the Ourika River descends from the High Atlas, passing through Asguine, Aghbalou, Oulmes, and finally reaching the village of Setti Fatma, renowned for its seven waterfalls.
Ranked among the most beautiful valleys of Morocco, with its seven waterfalls, Ourika Valley is situated about thirty kilometers south of Marrakech, just an hour’s drive away. En route to the High Atlas, we will traverse the plain of Haouz, following the flow of the Ourika River, which boasts abundant water throughout the year.
