Day Trips from Marrakech to Ourika Valley
Day 1: Excursión al Valle del Ourika
At 9:00 AM, the full-Day Trips from Marrakech to Ourika Valley will begin with a drive across the stunning Houz plains…
From here, we proceed to Tnin Ourika, one of the biggest Berber souks in the region, where every Ourika Valley inhabitants gather once a week to exchange goods and services. If fortune favors us, perhaps we will even see their exchange.
The Ourika Valley Day Trips shared budget: During our excursion, we will drive by the Ourika River and follow it to the Berber town of Setti Fatma, where most Marrakech people go to escape the summer heat and spend the day in the shade of walnut trees. If you have more time when you visit Morocco again, we highly suggest this experience—you won’t soon forget it!
Many local hiking guides are available to lead hikes to some stunning waterfalls and return to the starting point for those who want to explore the Valley on foot.
But if you’d prefer a peaceful day, you may unwind at one of the riverfront cafés and spend the remainder of the day taking in the sound of the stream against the backdrop of the High Atlas Mountains. There are affordable local cafés that are suitable for a light meal that will fit any budget.
We will return to Marrakech in the afternoon when this tour is done to wrap off your day excursion to the Ourika Valley. Thus, you will spend the night in the hotel or riad that you have reserved in advance.
