Day Trip to the Ourika Valley from Marrakech
Excursion of a day through the Ourika Valley is probably the most visited area of the Atlas Mountains, as it is only an hour’s drive from Marrakech. Along the valley, the banks of the Ourika River are generously shaded by poplars and other weeping willows. Take the services of a local guide and walk to the waterfalls. The village of Arhbalou is very attractive and has a multitude of small restaurants owned by Berber families located along the water’s edge. A picnic lunch at the Arhbalou waterfalls or on the banks of the Ourika River is very popular among locals and tourists alike. The Ourika Valley is an escape from the bustling Marrakech, so take advantage and book your day trip to the Ourika Valley with us.
One of our colleagues, an English-speaking driver, will pick you up at 9 in the morning from your hotel/ Riad in Marrakech and you will travel in an exclusive licensed air-conditioned vehicle. In this private escorted day trip to the Ourika Valley, you will escape the heat and bustle of Marrakech and experience a bit of Berber family life, hike through the village with a local guide (we arrange the local guide for the hike, which lasts between 2 and 3 hours, you can shorten or lengthen it at your own pace), and enjoy the panoramic view of its small waterfalls surrounding the village.
The village of T’nin Ourika represents the vibrant center thanks to its local market on Mondays, where locals gather to shop and also to gossip. In the afternoon, you will return to Marrakech and we will drop you off at your accommodation around 5 p.m.
