Ourika Valley & Atlas: Day Trip from Marrakech, Hike & Lunch

Leaving Marrakech for the Atlas foothills: Morning pickup from your hotel/riad and drive south as the city fades into palm groves and Atlas Mountains scenery. A short stop lets you enjoy the changing landscape. Argan cooperative visit: Visit a women’s argan cooperative to see traditional oil production, with optional tasting of argan oil, amlou, and mint tea. Berber village stop: Continue into the valley for a short tea break in a local Berber village surrounded by orchards, offering a glimpse of daily rural life. Setti Fatma waterfalls hike: Arrive in Setti Fatma and enjoy a guided 45-minute walk along the river to the first waterfall, crossing paths, stones, and bridges before relaxing by the cascade. Riverside Berber lunch: Enjoy a relaxed three-course traditional lunch by the river with salads, tagine or grilled dishes, and seasonal fruit, served at a calm pace. Return to Marrakech: Drive back in the afternoon as the landscape shifts again toward the plains, with drop-off at your original pickup point.
