From Marrakech, the journey to the Ourika Valley takes approximately 1h45 min and passes through the picturesque landscapes of the Atlas Mountain. You will leave the city heading southeast, following the main road that winds along the hills and traditional Berber villages.
The first stop is at the Berber House, an iconic place where you can discover the culture and daily life of the local people. It’s the perfect spot to take photos, enjoy demonstrations, and taste traditional mint tea, while learning more about local traditions before continuing your exploration of the valley.
After approximately 30 minutes of driving, you will stop at a genuine argan cooperative, directly supporting local women and their community. You will discover the artisanal process of producing argan oil, from harvesting the nuts to cold-pressing. This visit allows you to meet the artisans and learn about their daily work, while exploring the exceptional benefits of argan-based products: • Culinary argan oil: rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids. • Cosmetic argan oil: hydrates, regenerates, and protects skin and hair. • Natural soaps and cosmetics: handmade with local ingredients. By visiting this cooperative, you directly contribute to the empowerment of women and sustainable development in the region, while discovering high-quality natural products.
You will then continue towards the village of Setti-Fatma, where you will meet your local guide for a 1.5-hour round-trip walk. This hike will allow you to explore the traditional village and its small waterfalls, while enjoying the authentic atmosphere of the Ourika Valley. Lunch is at your own expense, and you will have free time to explore the area at your own pace.
After your visit and free time in Setti-Fatma, you will return to Marrakech, enjoying the picturesque landscapes of the Ourika Valley one last time before arriving back in the city.
