Ourika Valley & Setti Fatma Waterfalls Day Trip
Berber villages, argan cooperative, hike to the Setti Fatma waterfalls and riverside lunch.

Rivers, waterfalls and Berber villages
One hour from Marrakech, the Ourika Valley reveals mud-brick villages, the Setti Fatma waterfalls and riverside terraces.
About Ourika Valley
The Ourika Valley is the favourite nature escape of Marrakech locals. The road winds along the river, between walnut trees, orchards and Berber villages clinging to the mountainside. At the end of the valley, the village of Setti Fatma is the starting point of a hike to the seven waterfalls.
On the way, we stop at a Berber house to share mint tea, at an argan oil cooperative and at the weekly market depending on the day. Lunch is served almost with your feet in the water, on colourful terraces set up along the river.
An ideal day trip for families, couples or friends, all year round.
