Ourika Valley, at the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains, is only 45 minutes southeast of Marrakech. The valley offers a great escape from the heat of Marrakech for the locals during summer months.
This shared full-day trip to Ourika Valley from Marrakech is ideal for nature lovers and light trek into one of the small size waterfalls, or just relax and have a snack at one of the local cafés used the shade of the walnut trees next to the stream.
After a 30 minutes drive via the fertile Haouz Planes, you will reach Ourika center, where you will stop for a visit of the open-air Berber weekly market. It is operated every day, but on Mondays are much busier and lively.
From here you will continue up to Setti Fatma. On the way, stop at a Berber house where you could share a cup of mint tea with the locals before you continue to Setti Fatma Berber village.
Upon arrival, enjoy a guided light trek into the waterfalls above the village (local guides available for hire). Return back to the village where you can have lunch (at your leisure) at one of the local cafés next to the stream.
