Marrakech: ourika valley day trip lunch waterfulls hike + guide
Description
Start your day with an early departure from Marrakech to make the most of the trip. The drive to the Ourika Valley is scenic, with stunning views of the Atlas Mountains along the way. Your first stop is the women’s argan oil cooperative, where you’ll learn about the traditional methods used to extract this valuable oil. You can also sample argan products and discover their many uses. Continue on to the village of Sti Fatma, the gateway to the waterfalls. Take some time to explore the vibrant local market or enjoy a coffee before starting your journey. The hike to the waterfalls offers stunning views of the valley, lush vegetation, and small streams. While the first waterfall is relatively easy to reach, exploring requires a little more effort and sturdy shoes. After your hike, return to the village and enjoy a leisurely lunch at a riverside restaurant. Traditional Moroccan dishes like tagines, couscous, and fresh salads are common, accompanied by refreshing mint tea.

Absolutely amazing and felt so safe and nice. We really enjoyed it. From start to finish. Would highly recommend and go again if in Marrakech.
Very good place and good trip ! We visit some cooperatives and the valleys 🏜️ Thanks for your professionalism and sympathy Oussama 🙏🏽
Sincerely, thank you to Oussama and Nouhaila for joining us and guiding us in Ourika. Not only did they show us a beautiful place, but they made us feel at home every moment. Their kindness, their closeness and the affection with which they did everything made a difference. We leave with wonderful memories and enormous gratitude in our hearts. It has been an experience we will never forget. Thank you so much.
First of all a huge THANK YOU to Osama, incredible driver who is very kind. Thanks to him our day was really exceptional. We discovered beautiful landscapes. Don't miss this trip. If you're lucky enough to run into Osama, it's a plus... Perhaps it is possible to ask the agency? I recommend 200,%🤩🤩
We reserved an excursion to Ourika Village. Our guide, Ossumma, was exceptional, treating us with the utmost care and ensuring our well-being, safety, and enjoyment throughout the trip. Duration: 7hrs *Price of excursion is very affordable Our itinerary included stops at picturesque scenic locations, a visit to a women's Argan Oil cooperative, a hike to the waterfalls, and a return to Ourika Village for lunch. Ossumma consistently ensured that every member of our group received equitable attention and care. Interestingly, when we shared the alphabet of my mother tongue and his Berberic, they sounded pretty much similar, however, when making words, meanings are different. Ossumma was amazing overall.
BEST DAY EVER!! The tour was jam-packed w so many experiences in 1 day inc Atlas Mountains, hiking, waterfalls, Agafay desert, camel riding, argon oil women's cooperative. The lunch (inc in cost) was the best tagine I'd ever had (huge portions) w couscous & salad whilst looking over a view of the mountains. It was so gorgeous & scenic. Breakfast also inc. Our guide Mustafa was incredibly knowledgeable & made our visit even more interesting w inform about culture & traditions of Morocco. He was very proactive in highlighting good opportunities for photos & they regularly offered to take photos of us on our phones which was sweet. The tour operator/driver Abdul was a very safe driver & similarly gave lots of interesting info about Morocco. He kept us entertained all the way & was incredibly polite. Both gentlemen were so passionate about their job it really showed. I'm so glad I booked this tour & honestly, even if it was triple the price, it'd still be well worth it. This was our best day in Morocco & we got so many lovely pictures in one day. My experience in the rest of Marrakesh was very different so I'm so glad I ended my trip with this tour

Simply incredible experience, the reception, the hospitality, the people, everything was the best, Ibrahim and Muhammed are 5 stars.
Where do i start, an excellent experience from start to finish, every information about the area and its history provided by our tour guide Abdouasni, who had a lively and charismatic personality. Any questions were answered in detail, and the food was in my honest opinion the best tagine and cous cous we had in the 7 days we stayed in Morocco, thats saying something. I would highly recommend for you to book this experience and ask for Abdouasni. Abdouasni thank you for a lovely experience i hope to see you again in the near future. My family were very satisfied with the excursion and send there thanks.
The best Travel experience i have ever had. Abdoul is very respectful and kind. It was my second time in Moroco whit Abdoul. Abdoul has become a friend. Honestly, you can trust him.
