Day-by-Day Itinerary
Morning – Drive to Ourika & Valley Walk
Depart Marrakech at 8:30am, driving south through the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains. Arrive in the Ourika Valley — a lush green oasis of terraced Berber gardens, rushing rivers and walnut trees. Begin your guided walk through the valley, visiting a traditional argan oil women's cooperative where you'll learn how argan oil is produced and taste the different varieties.
Midday – Berber Village & Riverside Lunch
Visit an authentic Berber village perched above the valley, meet local families and explore traditional mountain architecture. Enjoy a delicious riverside Moroccan lunch — freshly prepared tagine and salads served on a terrace above the rushing Ourika River with stunning mountain views.
Afternoon – Setti Fatma Waterfalls Hike
Hike up the rocky trail to the spectacular Setti Fatma waterfalls — a series of seven cascades tumbling down the Atlas mountainside. Swim in the natural pools at the base of the falls before returning to Marrakech by early evening.
