Deal with the buzzing sounds and people of Marrakech by going on a memorable trip to Ourika Valley. You are led along a path that takes you to the tranquil valley of Ourika which is found at the base of the impressive High Atlas. This beautiful place is just 30 KM from the busy city. The region is made especially beautiful by traditional Berber clay homes, green forests and streams from the Oued Ourika River. As you journey along, you will get to see genuine aspects of Berber culture and enjoy impressive scenery in the Moroccan landscape.
The journey ends in Setti Fatma, a wonderful Berber village found alongside the stunning mountains. At the location, you’ll be led by a friendly guide for a light hike where you’ll admire seven magnificent waterfalls. Such cascades give people an opportunity to escape the sun and also look beautiful in travel photos. During the evening, you get the opportunity to have a Moroccan-style meal while enjoying the peaceful surroundings near the river. On the way back to Marrakech at 5:00 PM, you will visit a place where Argan oil is produced which is valued as “liquid gold” in Morocco. This well-planned tour is great for learning about Moroccan culture, going on challenging drives and walks and relaxing during leisure time. If you are looking for a quick trip, this is one of the best Moroccan tours.
