• Ourika Valley - ESCAPE TO THE ATLAS MOUNTAINS

Tour Description:

After exploring the lively Medina, bargaining in the expansive souks, and mingling in the vibrant Djemma El Fna square, it might be the perfect time to leave the city behind and uncover more of Morocco’s enchanting beauty. Nestled at the base of the snow-capped High Atlas, Marrakech is close to North Africa’s most magnificent mountain range and one of Morocco’s most picturesque areas.

Majestic Ourika Valley

Featuring high plateaus, sharp peaks, and deep valleys, the striking landscape of the High Atlas offers breathtaking views during this driving and hiking tour to the Ourika Valley. Frequent stops in the Berber villages, known as douars, scattered across this lush hillside, allow you to explore the enduring rural traditions of these indigenous communities. Your guide will invite you into a Berber home, providing a rest during your walk and an opportunity to enjoy traditional mint tea with your hosts. Be sure to admire the stunning view of Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in the High Atlas.

Cascading Waterfalls

As you continue driving along the narrow mountain roads, you’ll arrive at the riverside village of Setti Fatma. This picturesque location, nestled in a High Atlas canyon, features seven waterfalls cascading from the rocky hillside above the village. Your guide will lead you to these refreshing pools via a route customized to your preferences, with options ranging from easy strolls to challenging stream hikes. Enjoy the refreshing breeze as you ascend higher into the mountains, providing a welcome escape from Marrakech’s warm climate.
