Overview

The Ourika Valley is a world apart from the city — terraced fields cling to red rock hillsides, Berber women weave carpets outside their homes, and mountain streams rush between the paths. Perfect for families and first-time hikers. The Setti Fatma waterfalls at the head of the valley are the highlight.

Walk through Berber villages rarely visited by tourists

Traditional Berber lunch with a local family

Frequently asked questions

Is this hike suitable for families and beginners?
Yes. It is graded easy and built for first-time hikers and families — the route follows valley paths up to the Setti Fatma waterfalls rather than any real climb. Children comfortable on uneven ground manage it well.
What does the price include?
A certified hiking guide, round-trip transport from Marrakech, a traditional Berber lunch with a local family, and mineral water throughout. Personal hiking gear and tips are not included.
Can you swim in the valley?
Yes — there are natural mountain pools along the way, so bring swimwear in warm weather. The seven Setti Fatma cascades at the head of the valley are the highlight.
How large is the group?
Between 2 and 15 people. It is a shared day tour, so you may walk with others.

Why book with us directly

Booking platforms charge operators 25–40% commission. Booking direct means the money stays with the family and the guides who walk with you — and you deal with the people running the trek, not a call centre.
