Your route
Moment by moment.
Timings are a flexible guide, not a fixed schedule. Youssef adapts each private departure to conditions, opening hours and your pace.
- Morning
Marrakech to the Ourika Valley
Leave the city and follow the river road into the foothills, pausing at quiet viewpoints and village landscapes.
- Late morning
Choose your Setti Fatma experience
Meet a local guide for the steep, rocky waterfall trail, or choose an easier valley-level stroll and relaxed café time.
- Lunch
Riverside pause
Settle in for a Moroccan lunch beside the valley. Water levels and weather determine which terraces are operating safely.
- Afternoon
Unhurried valley time
Enjoy tea, a short walk or additional scenery before beginning the drive back.
- Late afternoon
Marrakech return
Arrive at your accommodation before evening, traffic permitting.
