Day Trip to Ourika Valley from Marrakech Itinerary:
Driver will pick you up at the Riad at 8:30 a.m. to begin your day trip to Ourika Valley from Marrakech. This day’s excursion has been planned to take you away from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech and into the purer, cooler air of the High Atlas Mountains.

We first pass through the Berber settlement of Tahanout, about 35 kilometers from Marrakech, on our route toward the High Atlas Mountains. There is a Jewish cemetery in this town, as in many other Moroccan towns and villages. Enjoy tea with a local Berber family, who will show you a traditional hammam and bread ovens.
We arrive in Asni, a little Berber town noted for its permanent and weekly souks, after passing through the Toubkal National Park. From here, we head east to the Ourika Valley. there are two wonderful spots worth visiting on the way back to Marrakech (but only if you have the time and do not want to walk in Ourika).

Destinations' overview of day trip to Ourika Valley from Marrakech:
Ourika Valley
The Ourika Valley is also well-known for its breathtaking natural beauty. The valley is home to seven waterfalls that flow down the steep hillsides and create pools of crystal-clear water. Visitors can climb to the waterfalls or take a camel ride through the valley, both of which provide beautiful views of the surrounding terrain. The valley is also densely forested, and the air is laden with the fragrant fragrances of plants and flowers. It is a very wonderful area to spend a day away from the rush and bustle of Marrakech.
The Ourika Valley has a lot to offer photographers. The scenery is so beautiful that it’s impossible to take a bad photo. The snow-capped summits of the High Atlas Mountains rise majestically in the distance, while the valley’s red slopes provide a striking contrast. The waterfalls and pools are ideal for nature photographers, while the Berber settlements and shops offer an insight into Moroccan culture
