Private Day Trip from Marrakech to Ourika Valley

Private Day Trip to Ourika Valley & Atlas Mountains

Just 60 km from Marrakech, the Ourika Valley is a true green oasis at the foot of the High Atlas Mountains. Far from the hustle and bustle of the medina, treat yourself to a day of relaxation in the heart of spectacular landscapes made up of clear rivers, lush meadows, and authentic Berber villages. Thanks to its mild climate and the Ourika River that flows year-round, the valley is one of the most popular destinations for both Marrakchis and travelers.
