Itinerary
Perched at an altitude of 1,500 m, Setti Fatma is a small village famous for its seven waterfalls located about 70 km from Marrakech, in the Ourika Valley, a beautiful green site watered by the torrents that descend from the Atlas. The village is the starting point for many excursions in the surrounding areas.
Walk the hiking trails to discover the different waterfalls of the Ourika Valley accompanied by a local guide and finish with your feet in the water while tasting a Tajine.
It is mainly populated by Berber-speaking people and the Chleuh dialect. Despite its proximity to Marrakech, it is still considered a relatively unspoiled valley, both in terms of its nature and its traditional mountain lifestyle.

Tariq is an excellent driver and guide. Very helpful and his recommendations were very useful.
From the moment Mustapha met us he was attentive and gave clear instructions as to what to expect from the day. He offered the choice of stopping at the Anima gardens, which were absolutely stunning🌺 There was no hurry and he took into consideration my mother’s age and capability. When asked about the city and life in Marrakesh he shared a wealth of knowledge about the history and life in Morocco. We cannot thank him enough for a very pleasant day and we’re very pleased when he arrived the following morning to take us for our hour long ride camel ride, thank you 🙏😊🌺
The experience went very well. The valley is of unparalleled beauty, and the guides were extremely friendly. However, be cautious of the details of the offer: lunch and the guide are ultimately not included in the package (despite a title that suggested otherwise). Therefore, it is necessary to budget for these additional costs during the day. A small point of caution regarding overtourism, which must be particularly intense in the summer. Despite this, I highly recommend this excursion for the beauty of the locations!
The trip was amazing, very interesting day. But everything was so great thanks to our guide and driver Mr. TARIK from company Marocco Trips solution. He is the best Ambassador of his country and professional brand. Big Thx Mr. Tarik. Highly recommended!
My sister in law and I travelled to Marakesh for four nights in March. We had a wonderful experience. The highlight was on Friday 13th March 2026. A wonderful member of your staff , named Tarik took us on this tour. What an absolutely lovely, kind, trustworthy, knowledgeable man he is. He could not have been more helpful. We had a most enjoyable and great trip. I left a small purchase in his car and he dropped it to our Riad the next morning. Thank you to Tarik. A wonderful staff member. My very best wishes.

It was a great, nice day with Tarik. Thank you very much
Great tour, with a wonderful driver and experienced guide. I was reluctant at first. After meeting our Driver, Tarek, who was informative, kind, professional and punctual I was at ease. Then he handed us over tour guide Siad. Once again i was put completely at ease. He was also professional, informative and kind. I have an injury, hence the reluctance, Siad held my hand all of the way up and down the trek. Unbelievable. Lunch afterwards was very good, and good value. The stop off at AFOUSAGRAN was also special and we did some retail therapy. Nothing was too much trouble for Tarek our driver. I was a fun adventure and spiritual too. Thank you. I will be recommending this to everyone.
Had a brilliant day to the Ourika Valley and Atkas mountains. Our driver Tarik was very friendly and gave us lots of information along the way. Nice walk up the mountain with lovely views and a tasty meal sat alongside the river. Would highly recommend Tarik and this trip
