Day trip from Marrakech to Ourika valley
For your short escapades around Marrakech we have selected for you the best excursions and day trips to the High Atlas – the biggest mountain range in North Africa which offers extremely impressive mountain biking possibilities, hiking trails and photography tours; it is the ideal place for day trips from Marrakech. High peaks force the clouds to give high quantities of rainfall; therefore the High Atlas has many fertile valleys surrounded by rivers and waterfalls. In summer when the weather is exhausting, Ourika valley is a good escape for one day tour from Marrakech at only one hour drive. Setti Fatma is at the end of the Ourika Valley – it has seven beautiful waterfalls, breath-taking landscapes and mountain trails that require a pair of good hiking shoes. It’s a breath-taking sight that cannot be missed, mainly when it’s combined with a visit of a Berber family in a traditional house and a camel trek. All our day trips from Marrakech are accompanied by an English speaking guide. So book your day tour from Marrakech with us and enjoy the quality of travelling!
