Once we’re in the mood for adventure and exploration, we’ll visit the vibrant Berber village of Setti Fatma, tucked in a canyon beneath the High Atlas mountains, famous for its seven stunning waterfalls. We’ll make sure to arrive early to avoid the tourist crowds and enjoy the tranquility, while taking in the breathtaking panoramic views of the area! You’ll be able to hike to the waterfalls with a local guide, provided at no additional cost, who will lead you through the journey. Along the way, you’ll also walk by the Ourika river, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes!
After capturing some epic shots with breathtaking backgrounds or simply taking the time to reconnect with yourself, and following a visit to a women’s organic Argan oil cooperative to learn about the health benefits of Morocco’s most precious natural gift, it’s time for a delicious, mouthwatering lunch! To avoid tourist traps and overpriced restaurants, you’ll enjoy a traditional meal with a local Berber family in their home. You’ll indulge in a fresh Moroccan salad, the main dish—a mouthwatering, slowly-cooked Berber Tajine with vegetables and meat—and fresh seasonal fruits. Homemade, hearty, wholesome, and healthy! To top it off, you’ll be treated to Moroccan tea and a local pastry to fill your belly with joy!
As you make your way back to Marrakech, you’re welcome to stop at a traditional pottery workshop or a local Berber shop featuring beautiful, handwoven carpets from the High Atlas Mountains — a meaningful way to round off your day. At TRIP FOR YOU, we value honesty and transparency. That’s why we want to let you know that if you choose to make a purchase during this visit, we may receive a small commission. This helps us continue working with genuine, kind-hearted local partners and guides who focus on creating great experiences rather than making sales — no pressure, just authentic moments.

My tour guide , Aymane ,was absolutely fantastic. He was extremely friendly, attentive, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire tour. His positive attitude and kindness really made the experience special. He explained everything clearly and was always happy to answer questions. You can tell he genuinely cares about the people in his group and wants them to have a great time. Thanks to him, the tour was not only informative but also very enjoyable. I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting! Ben
Fantastic day. Above and beyond just a tour, the experiences and sights. It was relaxed and like being driven around by a knowledge friend.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! 😊 We’re delighted that you had a great time in Ourika Valley. Your satisfaction means a lot to us! You are always welcome back anytime for more unforgettable experiences in Morocco 🇲🇦✨
We asked for the guide in Italian and it arrived in English. The driver was nice and helpful, the problem is the place you will see. Dirty, that's the only word I feel like writing. Lunch in the traditional house was definitely good, but the dirt that surrounds you really makes you close your stomach. Our hygiene standards are very high and at least as far as I was concerned I didn't enjoy anything of the day because there was garbage and zero hygiene everywhere
La ringraziamo per aver condiviso la sua esperienza con noi. Ci dispiace sinceramente che la guida non sia stata in italiano come richiesto e comprendiamo perfettamente quanto questo possa aver influito sulla qualità della vostra giornata. Per quanto riguarda la pulizia dei luoghi visitati, desideriamo chiarire che alcune aree della valle dell’Ourika sono ambienti naturali e rurali, dove gli standard possono essere diversi rispetto a quelli urbani o europei. Tuttavia, prendiamo molto seriamente il suo commento e lavoreremo con i nostri partner locali per migliorare il più possibile l’esperienza dei nostri clienti. Siamo felici che abbia apprezzato la gentilezza dell’autista e la qualità del pranzo, ma ci dispiace che gli altri aspetti abbiano compromesso la sua esperienza. Il suo feedback è molto importante per noi e ci aiuta a migliorare. Speriamo di avere l’opportunità di offrirle un’esperienza migliore in futuro.
Fantastic family experience! Our driver Abdul was really friendly and knowledgeable, he stopped off at different places for us to take pictures and see lovely views. The hike up to the waterfalls was steep in places and our guide (also called Abdul) popped our youngest on his shoulders and chatted away to him, they really engaged with our kids answering their many questions! It really was just a lovely family experience that we won’t forget. Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thank you for your review and see you soon 😊
We had an amazing experience exploring the Atlas Mountains with our guide, Taha. He was very informative and passionate about the area, making the journey both educational and enjoyable. Taha’s friendly attitude and deep knowledge of the mountains and local traditions really made the trip special. We highly recommend him for anyone wanting to explore this beautiful region!

Incredible Atlas Mountains Adventure ☀️! I absolutely loved my trip to the Atlas Mountains! The views were spectacular, and every moment felt like a postcard. The air was fresh, the mountains were majestic, and the villages were full of charm. Our guide was fantastic, very friendly and eager to share stories about the region and its people. We even had the chance to enjoy a homemade Berber meal, which was delicious. It was a perfect escape from the city and a real cultural experience. I’d do it again in a heartbeat! 🇲🇦🇫🇷
Our trip to the Atlas Mountains was absolutely amazing! The scenery was stunning, and every part of the journey felt well-organized and authentic.
