About this tour

Only an hour from Marrakech, the Ourika Valley is a ribbon of green terraces and clay villages beside a mountain river. The shared minibus stops at a women's argan cooperative before winding up the valley to Setti Fatma.

From there you can hike up to the waterfalls (about 1.5 hours round trip over rocks), dip into natural pools or simply relax at a riverside café over a tagine. Monday trips also stop at the weekly Berber market in Tnin Ourika.
