Private Day tour to the Ourika Valley from Marrakech

Typical adobe Berber villages nestle on the mountainsides and along the river, small terraces and fields are cared for to produce all the fruits and vegetables, animals are tended to and age old traditions are passed down through generations. It is a pure and splendid place where silence is only disturbed by singing birds, the streams and the wagtails. Ourika is famous because of its pottery and its crystalline minerals. This area has many artisans producing crafts for the souks. Further up the valley as it winds its way to the village of Setti Fatma, road side and riverside restaurants line the way with delicious tagines cooking on smouldering charcoal fires waiting to be chosen for lunch. We take you to visit a Berber house where you can have tea, and perhaps visit the old mill where they still use traditional methods. If time allows and you have suitable footwear you can hire a local guide to take you up the waterfalls at Setti Fatma. Seven falls bring you up into the lush vegetation and give you fantastic panoramic views of the landscape. The Ourika Valley tour is one of the most popular for very good reason; it really is a fantastic day trip from Marrakech.
