Your adventure begins with a morning pickup from your hotel or riad in Marrakech. We’ll take a scenic drive through the breathtaking Atlas Mountains, where the air is fresh and the landscapes change with every turn. Along the way, you’ll pass olive groves, terraced gardens, and picturesque Berber villages that make this route so enchanting.

Our first stop will be at a traditional Berber market (depending on the day of the week), where you can observe local life and shop for handmade crafts and fresh produce. We’ll then head deeper into the Ourika Valley, a lush and peaceful area famous for its rivers, gardens, and scenic beauty.

Once in the valley, you’ll enjoy a guided walk through the village of Setti Fatma, exploring its narrow lanes and vibrant gardens. From here, we’ll take a hike to the stunning Setti Fatma waterfalls — a series of seven waterfalls tucked into the heart of the valley. The walk offers incredible views and the chance to feel the pure mountain air.

For lunch, you can savor authentic Moroccan cuisine at a local riverside restaurant, enjoying traditional tagines or couscous with a view of the flowing Ourika River.

In the afternoon, there will be time to explore herbal gardens where local women produce natural cosmetics and aromatic teas from mountain herbs, giving insight into traditional Moroccan herbal medicine. Before heading back, you can enjoy a cup of mint tea while soaking in the valley’s calm beauty.

We’ll return to Marrakech by early evening, concluding a day full of natural beauty, culture, and authentic Moroccan hospitality.
