Your Ourika Valley itinerary
After a morning pick-up at your riad or hotel, you drive about 30 km into the High Atlas, where clay houses cling to the mountainside. On the way you stop at a local argan oil cooperative to see how Morocco’s “liquid gold” is made by hand. You continue to Setti Fatma (1,500 m), the gateway village, where a local guide leads a two-hour walk to the seven waterfalls with commentary on Amazigh (Berber) culture. You’ll have free time for a relaxed lunch on the banks of the Oued Ourika before the scenic drive back to Marrakech.
