From Marrakech to the Ourika Valley

Travel southeast from Marrakech toward the High Atlas foothills. Along the road, irrigated gardens and palms give way to orchards, terraced slopes and villages above the Ourika River. When the excursion falls on a Monday, the itinerary includes a stop at the weekly souk in Tnine Ourika.

Setti Fatma and the waterfalls

Continue through the valley to Setti Fatma, where the listed route includes a hike toward its seven waterfalls. The mountain path can be uneven; ask your guide about the route and walking time before setting out. The excursion also lists a riverside lunch at a local restaurant, with tagine, fresh bread and mint tea.

Saffron and aromatic gardens

On the return drive, visit the saffron cooperative and Nectarome gardens named in the itinerary. The gardens present more than 50 aromatic and medicinal plant varieties. Cooperative opening hours and any demonstrations may vary by day.
