Ourika Valley Day Trip from Marrakech begins with about one hour of driving from Marrakech. We first pass by the Scorpion commercial center. Here, we can stop for a short time to exchange money or use the bank. Just five minutes later, we make another stop at a panoramic viewpoint. From this place, you can admire the largest olive plantation area near Marrakech, an early highlight of the journey.
After that, we continue our road to a Berber family house. Inside their home, you will see the daily life of the locals. You can also share breakfast with them and taste olive oil, local butter, honey, and fresh bread. During this visit, you can look around the whole house, including the kitchen, the living room, the traditional hammam, and other parts of their home.
Next, we continue to another village. Here, we stop to visit a local women’s cooperative. In this place, you will learn how they prepare natural products such as argan oil, black soap made from olive oil, and many other handmade items. You can also watch the process and see how they make these products step by step.
Later, we drive to Setti Fatma where our local guide will be waiting for us. Together, we start a pleasant hike to the waterfalls. During the walk, you can enjoy the fresh air, the green mountains, and the sound of the cascades. This hiking part of the Ourika Valley Day Trip from Marrakech is a favorite for nature lovers. After the hike, we return and stop for a delicious lunch by the Ourika River. You can relax, enjoy the view, and taste Moroccan food in a peaceful place.
Finally, in the late afternoon, we drive back to Marrakech. We drop you off at your hotel or riad if it is accessible by car, or at the initial meeting point if not.
