OURIKA valley is located in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. It sits sixty five kilometres from Marrakech in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Even though the OURIKA valley is near to the populated Marrakesh, it is one of the most unspoiled valleys in all of Morocco. The valley is a maze of lush greens within salt mines; The OURIKA Valley is one of the most beautiful and best preserved valleys in Morocco. The region is without a doubt the perfect destination for people who seek Moroccan adventure, discovery relaxation and meditation. Through OURIKA Valley is the OURIKA River, which begins in the High Atlas Mountains and runs down towards Marrakesh. The OURIKA Valley is much more than tourists’ location since it houses a number of plant species and the rare Barbary Macaques.

My husband and I visited Morocco and hired Ahmed for airport transfer and to be our driver around the city and to our activities surrounding Marrakech. Morocco private excursions also helped us hire a private guide for the souks and museums. Both our driver and guide were excellent, friendly, spoke good English, and were very professional. The car was clean and they had bottled water which was a nice touch. Highly recommend this company! Thanks Ahmed and Morocco private excursions!

Ahmad our drivers was very attentive to our needs and accommodating. When we needed suggestions or recommendations he was ready to support us. Ahmad is very friendly and kind, he wasn’t only a drivers he was more of a knowledgeable guide. We definitely would recommend Morocco Private Excursion to others and specifically Ahmad as their drivers who made our day trip more joyful.

We traveled In Mercedes VITO van with our driver Charaf for 8 days all over Morocco (except Sahara desert) and we had great time. By end of the trip, Charaf was not just our driver but he was our family member. We were lucky to have his company. Charaf will be in our hearts forever. In fact we are planning another trip to Spain and fly to Marrakech (Morocco) for about 4 days trip to Sahara Desert in next couple of years, of course with Charaf.

Si Mohamed was our driver for the day. He pointed out all the landmarks along the way and was happy to stop whenever we wanted to - he has amazing patience! The mountains are a beautiful experience - well worth taking the day to visit.
