Day excursion to ourika valley from Marrakech.

1 Day

Embark on a full-day excursion starting with a 9 AM pick-up from your Marrakech accommodation, setting the stage for an immersive journey into the heart of the Atlas Mountains. As you depart, the landscape transforms with every passing minute during the 40-minute drive, surrounded by picturesque olive tree groves that pave the way to the village of Tnine Ourika. If your excursion aligns with a Monday, you'll have the unique opportunity to explore a vibrant weekly market, becoming part of the lively local activity.

Upon arrival, take in the sights and sounds of the market, and then venture into a 2-hour walk through Berber villages and terraced fields, culminating in the charming village of Timalizine. Crossing a quaint bridge, you'll rejoin the main road, continuing the journey up the scenic Ourika valley until you reach the captivating village of Setti Fadma—the endpoint of the Tarmac road.

Delight your senses with a scrumptious lunch at a local restaurant in Setti Fadma, surrounded by the breathtaking natural beauty of the Atlas Mountains. Post-lunch, prepare for a 45-minute exploration on foot to discover the enchanting waterfalls that grace the landscape.

After immersing yourself in the cascading wonders, return to the car, and commence the journey back to Marrakech, with an anticipated arrival around 5 PM. As an optional addition to your itinerary, consider a visit to a traditional Berber home on the return journey, providing a deeper understanding of local customs and hospitality.

Please note that the Monday market visit is contingent on the excursion day being a Monday, and adjustments may be made based on the actual day of the week, ensuring a flexible and dynamic exploration of the Atlas Mountains.
