Ourika Valley — Waterfalls & Berber Villages

From €55 per vehicle
Full day

45 minutes from Marrakech, the Ourika Valley climbs into the High Atlas. Seven waterfalls, traditional Berber villages, saffron coops, and mint-tea stops with mountain views.

About this tour

Just 45 minutes south of Marrakech, the Ourika Valley is the easiest way to swap the heat of the city for cool mountain air, rushing rivers and green terraced fields. Your private driver follows the Ourika River as it climbs into the High Atlas, stopping wherever the views are best — no rushing, no big groups, no fixed timetable.

It's a relaxed, flexible day built around what you want to see: Berber villages clinging to the hillsides, a family-run argan and saffron cooperative, riverside cafés with tables set right in the water, and the famous Setti Fatma waterfalls. Ideal for families, couples and first-time visitors who want a real taste of the mountains without a long drive.

  • Traditional Berber villages and terraced farms
  • A women's argan & saffron cooperative (free tasting)
