Overview

Discover the Ourika Valley, Berber villages, and Setti Fatma Waterfalls on a full-day sightseeing tour from Marrakech. Begin with a pickup from your hotel and journey toward the majestic Atlas Mountains, where lush green meadows and 16th and 17th-century Berber villages await.

Your local guide will lead you through the valley, where you'll enjoy a cup of tea with a Berber family and embark on a hike to the seven waterfalls of Setti Fatma. Learn about Morocco's famous argan oil at a women’s cooperative.

If your tour is on a Monday, explore a vibrant roadside souk. Follow the Ourika River, passing fruit-laden trees, charming hamlets, riverside dining spots, and luxurious summer residences.
