Why visit Ourika on a group tour?

For the price. At €20 per adult, the return trip from Marrakech to Setti Fatma costs barely more than a shared taxi. On top of that, you get hotel pick-up, a visit to a Berber house and a stop at an argan cooperative.

For simplicity. There is nothing to organise: the driver knows the stops, the timings and where to park in a valley that is often busy at weekends. You enjoy the scenery while the road climbs along the river.

For freedom on site. The minibus is shared, but you don't have to follow a group in Setti Fatma. The driver tells you the return time, then it's up to you: walk to the first waterfall, hire a local guide to go higher, or stay for lunch by the water.

The tour suits solo travellers, couples and families (€20 per child). If you'd rather leave at a time of your choosing or travel only with your own party, have a look at the private Ourika valley tour.
