# Marrakech: Ourika Valley & Atlas Mountains + Lunch

In our comparison: #36 of 166 in Atlas Mountains Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Our excursion to the Ourika Valley stands out for an authentic discovery of nature and Berber life, just an hour from Marrakech. We take you through green landscapes, traditional villages and to the waterfalls of Setti Fatma, with time to walk, breathe the clean Atlas air and enjoy the river. The experience is friendly and flexible, with a local Driver Guide who shares the culture and traditions of the area. Far from the quick visits, we favor calm, proximity to nature and a relaxed pace for a real break outside the city.
