Nice Argan Experience and Waterfalls - Nice experience and hiking, not many hours from Marrakech so it doesn't feel like wasting the full day. Great guys managing the trip. The food passed the test but it was too late for having lunch, so it is not a big thing.

Day Trip to Ourika Valley - Today, we headed for the hills of the famous Atlas Mountains for a visit of a women's cooperative that makes natural and organic products from the fruit of the argan tree. Very instructive and interesting discovery.
We then headed to the Berber village of Setti Fatma for a magnificent excursion up its mountain to the waterfalls and up the steep slopes of the famous Atlas Mountains, before descending back to the village. We had the opportunity to see wild monkeys in the village.
Finally, a delicious Berber meal awaited us on the banks of the Ourika river, which flows through the village.
A memorable and highly instructive day in a grandiose setting.
Many thanks to our mountain guide who is in great form and to Jamal and Meryem, who took good care of us and were very professional throughout the trip.
We had a really great journey with the guides.

A very nice trip - We went to a trip Ourika and did a very nice hike with one of the best views I have ever seen. The car trip to the place was good also. The food we had was very nice and we had a nice tea by the river. On the way to the hike we stopped by a store where we learned a bit more about moroccan culture. Basically everything was good even when it started to rain.

Abdul tours save the day - We were let down at the last minute by our tour operator. Abdul tours saved the day for us, calling back a trip that had already left so that our day wouldn't be spoilt a lovely guy who did everything he could to save our day.

Mountain trip will local crafts demonstrations and lunch by the river. - Local pick up with trip up to the Atlas mountain area. Stopped for local crafts, carpet weaving and a women’s cooperative. Expect a sales pitch and options to buy but there is no pressure at all. The river route is lined with areas to eat. Ours was a fixed price with 3 courses, tasty and freshly cooked. We sat right at waters edge. Fabulous local guide took us up to the waterfall. He was like a mountain goat and very helpful. Steep rocky climb towards end (no proper path) and I’ve seen bigger waterfalls but it was a fun experience and a good laugh.
