Itinerary
Your guide will pick you up at 9am from your hotel or riad, and heading east of the city direction of the high Atlas, will cross several villages before driving along the Ourika Valleys, stretches for about 30 miles across the foothills of the High Atlas. This is one of the most picturesque drives where the road follows the rushing Ourika River, which although the levels cary, never runs dry and provides wonderful whitewater rafting in the summer months. Somewhere in the valley we will have a mint tea pause by the mountain stream, before heading off-road on the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. We will take that route at leisurely pace, and if happen to be a day where it is local berber market in one of the villages, we would stop in the morning to visit it. We will drive trough villages and will able to stop whenever you want for photos or to get information. Then we will have lunch at one of the local restaurants.
Then we'll visit The Asni Valley which rises against the highest peaks in the Atlas. You will appreciate the beauty and the purity of intact nature
A small town and rural commune, take in spectacular views of mountain peaks and valleys as you ride. See charming Berber villages.
Then to the dam of Lalla Takerkoust, to enjoy the panoramic views at an altitude of 1400m, discover a beautiful landscape and a totally exotic environment. You will pass through traditional villages where authentic houses are built of earth and stones.

We had a great day in the Atlas Mountains. Our driver was friendly, fulfilled extra wishes and showed great spots!!
Made this trip together with my mother! It was a very nice day. We had a private tour with our guide Abdul. He showed us all the beautiful places and is also a fantastic photographer! Thank you for this special beautiful day abdul! Kind regards Blackbird & Sissi.
We had a private tour to Ourikavalley for 4 people. The Berber driver was very helpful, spoke good English and provided us was very knowledgeable. The private minibus was clean, air conditioned and fairly new. We had a private qualified guide to take us around the valleys and to the waterfalls. He was very knowledgeable, spoke good English and was very respectful. Ended our stay in the valley with a lovely meal by the river. Despite looking very touristy the food was excellent. We choose to sit on cushions by the river with a beautiful view.
It was a wonderful day trip the service was excellent it was a great experience specially for my kids the visits of the Berber villages the landscapes everything was perfect the driver very helpful thanks for this experience
Excellent choice for seeing the local Atlas mountains. Private vehicle and driver/guide to the sight. Local guide Omar was a pleasure to deal with and very knowledgeable. There is a bit of slogging up hill in some places, and depending on how wet it's been, the waterfalls can be muddy, but that's a minor inconvenience to the visit the scenery up close.
