Description

Enjoy a scenic day in Ourika Valley with a hike to Setti Fatma waterfalls, a visit to a traditional Berber village, and a relaxing riverside lunch. A perfect mix of nature, adventure, and culture!
Start your day with an early departure from Marrakech to make the most of the trip. The drive to the Ourika Valley is scenic, with stunning views of the Atlas Mountains along the way. Your first stop is the women’s argan oil cooperative, where you’ll learn about the traditional methods used to extract this valuable oil. You can also sample argan products and discover their many uses.

Continue on to the village of Sti Fatma, the gateway to the waterfalls. Take some time to explore the vibrant local market or enjoy a coffee before starting your journey. The hike to the waterfalls offers stunning views of the valley, lush vegetation, and small streams. While the first waterfall is relatively easy to reach, exploring requires a little more effort and sturdy shoes.

After your hike, return to the village and enjoy a leisurely lunch at a riverside restaurant. Traditional Moroccan dishes like tagines, couscous, and fresh salads are common, accompanied by refreshing mint tea.

In the afternoon, you can spend some time relaxing by the river, exploring the village, or visiting a Berber house for tea and learning about local culture and traditions. As the day comes to an end, you can enjoy a quiet drive to Marrakech, and enjoy the peaceful scenery.
