Have a truly authentic Ourika Valley experience with real Berber village life!
On our Ourika day trip, you will travel on a private tour with your own vehicle, driver, and guide. To achieve a truly authentic Ourika Valley experience, we aim at avoiding the typical tourist traps and focusing on real Berber village life through exploring local trails on foot far away from the fleets of tour buses.
What you’re going to do
Argan Oil & Souk Experience
Leaving Marrakech, one of our first visits is to a locally run Argan oil co-operative where we will see local women cultivating and pressing the Argan nut to make cooking oil, butter, and cosmetic products. Next, you will have the chance to visit a souk located near a picturesque Zaouia. Every Monday, the largest souk of the valley is held here.
Ourika River & Setti Fatma
Continuing along the valley following the Ourika River we’ll experience classic Ourika scenery of palm tree plantations and fruit trees with tiny hamlets, summer homes of wealthy locals, and riverside restaurants. At Setti Fatma, a favorite weekend resort of many Marrakshis, we will visit the famous tomb of Setti Fatma.
Berber Village Trails
Next, we will drive around the valley enjoying views of high green terraces, surrounding Atlas peaks, rocky village foothills, and the seven small waterfalls that surround the village. After enjoying a tasty Berber lunch, there will be some time for exploration on foot around the village in search of a traditional way of life before we drive back to Marrakech.
