1 Day Trip To Ourika Valley From Marrakech
A trip to the Ourika Valley takes you from Marrakech into the charming Berber heartland of rural Morocco. The journey is just over 45 minutes, as the valley is situated 30 km southeast of the bustling Red City. Set in the Atlas Mountains, this scenic spot lies in the High Atlas at the base of Toubkal, North Africa's highest peak.
If you're in Marrakech, a day trip to the Ourika Valley is a great way to take a break from the bustling city, busy medina, and lively souks. It offers a chance to immerse yourself in the breathtaking scenery of Morocco's Atlas Mountains and explore the unique areas around Marrakech. The route winds through the charming Ourika Valley, passing traditional Berber villages where you can get a glimpse of the local lifestyle.
A section of the scenic route winds along the Ourika River, which flows from the High Atlas Mountains. You'll reach the charming town of Setti-Fatma, where you can hire a local guide to explore the breathtaking waterfalls in the Ourika Valley. The first set of falls is easy to reach, while the others demand a bit more effort. The entire trek usually takes around two hours on foot.
