Meet your Marrakech tour guide at your hotel and head towards Ourika Valley, an ideal place for a day trip from Marrakech.

Take the road to the Atlas and cross green meadows and Berber villages of the 16th and 17th centuries. If you choose to make this trip on a Monday, get a chance to stop in a souk located at the edge of the road.

Visit orchards and terraces, where the villagers grow vegetables. You will also see small villages nestled on the hills and be amazed by the hard work that the Berbers had done to build the villages on the hills.

Continue through the valley of palms following the Ourika River and witness many fruit trees, tiny villages, few restaurants and holiday homes bordering the river.

Go to Setti Fatma village for a hike to seven waterfalls.

Take a dip in the water and refresh yourselves from the scorching African heat. 

Meet some locals and learn from them how this amazing place has become a favourite weekend destination.
