Enjoy the beauty of the Ourika Valley up close on this full-day scenic tour from Marrakesh, and escape the hustle and bustle of the city for the day. Ourika Valley is the closest day trip from Marrakesh, but it's not just the convenience it offers that makes it special. Drive towards the Atlas Mountains, enjoying the beautiful landscape of green meadows and authentic Berber villages dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries. If you make your tour on a Monday, you can even stop at a roadside market. See fruit orchards, vegetable terraces and villages clinging to the hillside. Marvel at the work done by the Berbers who raised materials to build small houses on the mountainsides, making terraces in a hostile environment. Continue along the valley of palm trees, following the Ourika River. With little walks among fruit trees, small villages, riverside restaurants, and summer homes of the wealthy will keep you busy. Go to Siti Fatima to feel the refreshing waters. Feel the mist on your face as you cool off from the African heat, along with the locals in Marrakesh who have made it their favorite weekend getaway.
