Overview

Explore the Atlas Mountains, beautiful valleys and traditional Berber life on this full-day trip from Marrakech. You get to see how different life is in the villages of the valleys and what a truly beautiful country Morocco is.

Begin your day trip with a pickup from your Marrakech hotel or riad, and board your air-conditioned 4x4. Hear about Morocco’s rural way of life as you drive into the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Admire the snow-tipped peaks as you head further into the spectacular range, and after roughly an hour, arrive at the Ourika Valley. The Plateau du Kik is situated over Asni, he dominates the dam of Lalla Takerkoust Lake.

The combination of these three valleys brings you into secluded fertile valleys where daily life of the indigenous Berber inhabitant moves wih time honoured traditions.

What to expect

  1. High Atlas Mountains
    8h · Admission ticket included
    You will depart Marrakech at 09:00 with a pick-up from your hotel or riad. Drive along tarred roads to leave the plains of Marrakech, passing small villages dotted over a vast landscape of olive trees.

    You will pass through apple orchards before arriving at the market village of Douar Asni. Enjoy the sight of the snowy summits of the High Atlas during winter, towering at approximately 5,900 feet (1, 800 meters) above sea level.

    We will cross over the river and proceed to Sidi Fares, where you will get wonderful views of Mount Toubkal and a collection of Berber villages that are irrigated by the springs below Mount Oukaimeden.

    Discover the lifestyle of the Berber inhabitants of the mountains. Depending on the season, the meadows will be filled with poppies, making them look like wonderful impressionist paintings.

    Stop close to the river bank and enjoy a meal at a typical small restaurant in Ourika, where you can taste a real Moroccan tagine or feast over delicious skewers of grilled meat cooked right in front of you.

    Continue to the sublime Setti Fatma waterfalls, where you can take a hike through the mountains. Return to your vehicle for the drive back to the tarmac roads and the return journey to Marrakech, where you will be dropped off at your accommodation
