Ourika Valley day trip
This Ourika Valley day trip from Marrakech takes us south to the beauty and splendor of the Ourica Valley at 9 a.m. Travel time is usually about an hour and a half to get to Setti Fatma, but there is so much to see that we will stop periodically to see the sights and sounds of the beautiful Ourika Valley.
As we travel from Marrakech to the Ourika waterfall for the first part of our trip, you may want to see lush green slopes, Berber villages, and hillside slopes. Here, the river winds through the valley, and the opportunities for taking dramatic landscape photos with your camera are endless.
We’ll stop at some of these typical Berber villages, so you can immerse yourself in the daily life of these local people. As we continued our journey through the valley, we approached the more mountainous paths of the Atlas chain towards Seti Fatma. There are several smaller (and some bigger) waterfalls along the route and not all of them are packed with tourists.
We advise you to bring walking shoes as we will be a short walk to some of the Setti Fatma waterfalls (waterfalls). You should also bring swimwear and sunscreen as we may be able to swim in some of the smaller pools at the base of the falls.
It’s also a good idea to change your clothes as we may be approaching a waterfall where there is plenty of back spray to keep you cool. And don’t forget to bring warm clothes, because the last part of the trip to the town of Sti Fadma can be very cold even in the summer.
You’ll need to bring lunch during this trip, but there are plenty of cafes and restaurants in several Berber villages on our day trips. However, the most important thing you should take with you is a camera as this experience only needs to be recorded.
The hike to the Seti Fatma Waterfall leads through the valley. After that, we will return to Marrakech on the same road. Arrive in town around 5 pm.
