Your adventure begins with a morning pick-up from your Marrakech accommodation as you set off toward the stunning Ourika Valley, located approximately 60 kilometers away at the base of the Atlas Mountains.

The journey takes you through the breathtaking highlands, where snow-capped peaks often frame the horizon. Along the way, pass through the Berber village of Tahnaout and pause at the revered Moulay Brahim mausoleum. Shortly after, visit a welcoming Berber family, where you’ll be treated to a traditional tea ceremony and an introduction to mountain life, complete with a look at their centuries-old bread ovens.

Continuing your journey, cross the majestic National Toubkal Park and stop at Asni, a charming Berber village known for its lively weekly market and Argan oil cooperatives run by local women. From here, the route leads into the heart of the Ourika Valley, where terraced gardens, fruit orchards, and quaint Berber hamlets dot the landscape.

Upon arrival, you’ll have the chance to enjoy a traditional Moroccan meal. Choose to dine in a scenic riverside café or opt for a unique experience—seated at a table placed directly in the cool, flowing waters of the river.

After lunch, those looking to further explore can embark on an optional guided trek through the valley and into the Atlas Mountains. Your expert guide will lead you along scenic trails, sharing stories of Berber traditions and local culture while you take in the awe-inspiring views of the lush valleys and rugged peaks.

As the afternoon winds down, relax on the return journey to Marrakech, bringing back unforgettable memories of your day in the Atlas Mountains.
