Best Private Atlas Mountains Day Trip From Marrakech
Escape the busy city and enjoy a less touristic day trip through Morocco’s stunning Atlas Mountains on this guided private day trip from Marrakech. After morning pickup from your hotel or accessible riad, travel in comfort in an air-conditioned minivan with your experienced English- and French-speaking driver-guide.
Your adventure begins in the Ourika Valley, famous for its lush scenery and refreshing waterfalls. Enjoy a guided walk (about 1 Hour round trip) with a licensed local mountain guide to explore the waterfalls, or simply relax with a drink beside the river. You’ll also have the chance if you like to visit a Berber women’s cooperative to see how traditional argan oil is made.
Continue through the beautiful Oukaimeden Valley, and travel along mountain roads reaching 1,800 meters to the Sidi Fares Valley. Here, you’ll pass through authentic Berber villages made of stone and adobe and discover local life and traditions. Enjoy a home-cooked Berber lunch (salad or soup, tagine or couscous, dessert, and drinks) served in a traditional family house.
After lunch, continue to Asni Valley, known for its fruit trees and breathtaking views of Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa. End your journey through the Tahnaout Valley, admiring its panoramic landscapes before returning to Marrakech around 5:30 PM.
