You will explore the Berber villages along the valley. then will drive 30 km to Ourikka valley which is a typical region of the High Atlas. Particularly green throughout the year, traversed by the Oued (River). This tour, not to be missed if one has a little time, allows one to discover the Atlas and its valley inhabited by Berber tribes. The extreme point, Setti Fatma, is 65Km South of Marrakech. The valley is punctuated by a string of douars (villages) attached to the hillside. Water is everywhere, which winds through the meadows, irrigating fields, and orchards. Many of Marrakchis have second homes of Ourika Valley, or simply they take hostels or hotels when the temperatures of their city become very high. Setti Fatma, 1500m above sea level, is a pleasant village where it is possible to take many walks. The typical mountain trek which leads to a cascade of 7 waterfalls is an absolute must-do.
