Escape Marrakech for an Ourika Valley day trip with Berber homes, argan oil, waterfalls, mountain views, a local guide, and lunch.
“Just the right amount of time spent at 3 stops en route (view point for photos; argon cooperative, Berber house). The “hike” up to the falls was lots of steps and some large stones to manoeuvre around and over but the guide was brilliant and helped everyone if needed. Lunch by the river was so much better than we had expected. Very relaxed. The journey back to Marrakech was direct. Our driver Mohsin was fabulous. He was an excellent driver, very attentive, told us some interesting facts and was always helpful and happy. We have had a really enjoyable day. Thank you.”
