Tour Plan:

Day Trip to Ourika Valley from Marrakech

Ourika Valley tour starts early in the morning from Marrakech. Our guide will pick you up from your accommodations in a private air-conditioned vehicle. On the road, we pass through the High Atlas Mountain range with its breathtaking landscape. 

At the same time, we will come across Berber villages, where we will make a stop to experience the local culture and the way of life. 

Furthermore, upon arrival at the Ourika Valley, we will start exploring this beautiful site. Certainly, the untouched nature with a beautiful atmosphere and magnificent landscapes will amaze you. The site is filled with greenery, various trees, flowers, gorgeous cascades, and, running water between reddish slopes. Indeed, Ourika Valley is a small paradise for nature lovers. 

Next, there will be a stop at a downtown area of Ourika. You will have a chance to visit the Berber market. It is most active on Mondays and Thursdays. Afterward, we will drive to the Berber village of Setti Fatma. Here, we will stop by a Berber house for a cup of mint tea. Then, we will enjoy delicious tajines for lunch in one of the many traditional restaurants.

Eventually, we will take a camel ride or a hike to the seven waterfalls of Setti Fatma. Truly, this is one of the most attractive places in the Ourika Valley. Not to mention, the beautiful cascades are a perfect subject for photography.  Moreover, If we have more time, we will visit the tomb of Setti Fatma and the Argan oil organization. 

In the late afternoon, we will be on our way back to Marrakech. The scenic drive back to the city will offer romantic vistas of the High Atlas Mountains again. We might be lucky to see the sun go down over the snow-capped peaks (it depends on the season of the visit). In Marrakech, we will drop you off at your accommodations.

Excellent experience in Morocco During the last months, I’ve been visiting Morocco quite often with groups. The experience, organisation, structures, activities as well as the support provided before, during and after the trip let us have an amazing experience. Drivers are always so skilled, professional and kind: worth-mentioning is especially Mustafa, with whom I travelled twice. Hope to see you soon again!

SIN DUDA UN VIAJE INOLVIDABLE Gracias a Hassan hemos podido ver todo lo que teníamos pendiente por ver. Nos ha organizado el viaje totalmente y nos ha explicado todos y cada uno de los paisajes y monumentos que íbamos recorriendo. En nuestro caso que somos españoles hemos podido comunicarnos perfectamente en español con él. Es una gran persona y estamos seguro de que cuando volvamos a Marruecos repetiremos con él. Ha hecho unas vacaciones inolvidables

Great experience! After a lot of research, we contacted Hassan for a 5-day desert trip with Best Morocco Travel and he was on time to respond to all our requests. From Marrakesh to the Sahara desert, the experience was impeccable. The well-planned itinerary, comfortable accommodation, and transportation provided by his agency deserves 5 stars. Our guide Hassan’s experience, knowledge and friendly behavior made it a perfect and unforgettable trip. I highly recommend traveling to Morocco for an amazing trip with Best Morocco Travel company.

Marokko 🇲🇦 2023 We booked a trip to Morocco for 10 days with Best Morocco Travels agency it was really unforgettable and Hassan was always responding on time and providing nice services. Mustafa our driver was exceptional. He expertly guided us through Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fes, Marrakech, the Sahara, and Berber villages and invited us to lunch with his family it was the best trip we have ever been on in our life. The itinerary was well organized, and the accommodation and local cuisine were top-notch. Moustapha local insights enriched our experience. Best Morocco Travel agency and Moustapha exceeded my expectations, making this trip a highlight of our trip. If you are planning to visit Morocco, we highly recommend their services, Thank you for the great experiences we will come back again. Susan and friends

Inesquecível!! Éramos seis amigas na nossa inesquecível viagem ao Marrocos, e nosso guia/motorista Hassan foi muito atencioso e prestativo, sempre pontual e pronto para atender às nossas solicitações. Excelente motorista, nos sentimos seguras durante toda a viagem. Van confortável e com wi-fi. Recomendo muito os seus serviços. O ponto alto da viagem foi nossa ida ao deserto e pernoite no acampamento. Experiência única e imperdível!

An Outstanding Cultural Tour I just completed a multiday tour with Hassan from Best Morocco Travel as my guide. Safely driving his comfortable vehicle while playing wonderful Moroccan music on his sound system, Hassan took me to many memorable destinations. He knows his country. He’s a bright young man with plenty of energy. His English language skills are impressive. If you’re fortunate to have Hassan as your guide, he will take great care of you. Hassan is THE guide to have when visiting Morocco. I recommend him without hesitation.
