    Ourika valley

    We had an amazing day with spectacular landscapes. We had the chance to know more about the local culture (culinary, artistic, people). It would have not been possible with the help of Mohammad who was our tour guide. He was such an amazing human being and had a lot of knowledge about the history of the city. He was always helpful ans thoughtful. Also, the driver, Sameer, who drove us everywhere really safely. We won't forget about this day thanks to them. We fully recommand you to book with them (Click Excursions). THANK YOU MOHAMMED

    AWESOME

    That was too cool ! So exotic! Both the ride and the people we met! Jawad the driver was super nice and funny, we didn't notice the time passing during the trips. Abdou, the guide, was incredibly kind and really immersed us in the heart of the village. I SINCERELY RECOMMEND

    Response from the operator: Thank you so Much for such a wonderful review as we appreciate your efforts coming to Morocco and visiting and using our Travel services, you re welcome anytime. All the best. Lahcen

    Unorganised and unauthentic

    This trip was very chaotic and unorganised. We were picked up on time but found two other travellers picked up by the wrong car - they wanted to go on a camel ride only but were convinced to join us on the Atlas mountains visit and then go to Agafay for the ride afterwards. They were then asked for more money for this, despite it being a mistake of the tour company. It was hard not to feel bad for them. The trip itself had good and bad. First we visited a berber house, which felt like a tourist attraction rather than an authentic look at a family home. Then we were taken to an argan oil exhibit and shop, where we were given a hard sell on products. A warning to others - the one item I considered purchasing was double the price here than in the medina (and the medina isn't cheap!). We then made our way up to Setti Fadma, the furthest village, where we hiked a little and then had lunch by the water. It was such a beautiful place and I'm glad we went in the end, just to see this place and enjoy the cooler weather. However, when we sat down for lunch we were not given a menu or options but told by the guide that he had ordered two tagines and already paid. Great... until he asked for 50 dirham each for lunch afterwards (which is way more than he would have paid for 2 tagines and some drinks, as there was 4 of us in total). Overall it felt unorganised and gimacky. And to top it off, the guide insisted my brother write a review there infront of him - so beware of all the positive reviews.

    Brilliant! Must do!

    What a brilliant experience! We were picked up bang on time by our driver and taken in his air conditioned vehicle to the Ourika Valley. The drive was around 90 minutes but it was broken up by a few photo stops and a stop at the Argan Collective. There was no pressure to buy anything but the products were lovely. We then stopped at a Berber home for mint tea and a tour - again they were selling home made jewellery, which we purchased, but we didn’t feel pressured to. Once we reached the Ourika Valley, we were taken by a local guide on a 2 hour hike to the Setti Fatma waterfalls - this was an additional 40MAD per person (around £3.50) but we had such a wonderful guide that we paid double. The hike is fairly steep and we saw people in unsuitable footwear really struggling - wear trainers! We then went for lunch, which wasn’t included in the price but was part of the itinerary. The only choice was a 3 course set menu for 120MAD per person - the food was ok but I would have preferred to have the option for just something small. We didn’t know it was a set menu until we were sat down. All in all, a wonderful day with no pressure, great views and two really friendly, lovely guides.

    Marrakech Day Trip To Ourika Valley Atlas ,Waterfall & Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.

    How much does Marrakech Day Trip To Ourika Valley Atlas ,Waterfall & Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at €8 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marrakech usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Marrakech Day Trip To Ourika Valley Atlas ,Waterfall & Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Marrakech is not rushed.

    Is Marrakech Day Trip To Ourika Valley Atlas ,Waterfall & Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Marrakech, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Marrakech Day Trip To Ourika Valley Atlas ,Waterfall & Lunch?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Marrakech Day Trip To Ourika Valley Atlas ,Waterfall & Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Marrakech Day Trip To Ourika Valley Atlas ,Waterfall & Lunch?

    +

    Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Marrakech can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Marrakech and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Marrakech Day Trip To Ourika Valley Atlas ,Waterfall & Lunch start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Marrakech within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Marrakech?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Marrakech experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Marrakech: 1 Day Tour-Best of Atlas Mountains and Three Valleys, Agafay Desert Quad Bike Camel Ride and Dinner Show, Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Ourika Valley, Waterfall + Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Marrakech?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Marrakech?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
