We highly recommend wearing sturdy sneakers or hiking boots. The path up to the Setti Fatma waterfalls can be rocky and slippery in some areas. Also, even if it’s hot in Marrakech, the mountains are always cooler, so a light jacket or scarf is a good idea.

Yes! This is the signature experience of the Ourika Valley. During the warmer months, the local restaurants set up tables and chairs directly in the shallow, cool parts of the river. It’s a unique and refreshing way to enjoy a traditional Moroccan Tagine.

A typical guided hike to the first few waterfalls takes about 1.5 to 2 hours (round trip). If you are an experienced hiker and want to see all seven waterfalls, let your guide know, and we can extend the trekking time. If you prefer not to hike, you can simply enjoy the riverside cafes and the mountain views.

You will be welcomed into an authentic mud-brick home to experience Berber hospitality. You’ll share mint tea and traditional bread with the family and learn about their daily life, their ancient traditions, and how they use traditional "Tafarnout" ovens to bake.

If your trip falls on a Monday or Thursday, we can stop at the vibrant weekly markets in the villages of Tahnaout or Asni. These are not tourist markets; they are authentic places where mountain locals gather to trade livestock, spices, and handmade goods.
