The Marrakech Ourika Day Trip is a unique experience that transports you to the enchanting landscapes of the Ourika Valley, located approximately 30 km southeast of Marrakech. This full-day excursion offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the red city, with visits to typical Berber villages, panoramic views of the Atlas Mountains, and an immersion in the local culture.
Your day begins with a pick-up from your hotel or riad in Marrakech in an air-conditioned vehicle.
