Full Description
Experience the beauty of the Ourika Valley up-close on this full-day scenic tour from Marrakech and escape the bustle of the city for the day. The Ourika Valley is the nearest day trip to Marrakech, but it’s not just its convenience that makes it special. Drive towards the Atlas Mountains, admiring the beautiful landscape of green meadows and authentic Berber villages from the 16th and 17th centuries. If you’re visiting on a Monday, you can even stop at a roadside souk. Admire the orchards, vegetable terraces, and villages clinging to the hillsides. Marvel at the work undertaken by the Berbers who lifted materials to build small houses on the mountainside and worked the terraces in a harsh environment. Continue along the Valley of Palms, following the Ourika River. Fruit trees, small hamlets, riverside restaurants, and the summer homes of the wealthy will keep you busy. Go to Setti Fatma to smell the refreshing waters. Feel the sea spray on your face as you cool off from the African heat, with the locals of Marrakech making it their favorite weekend getaway.
