Ourika Valley & Oukaimden Plateau

An excursion to the foothills of the Toubkal National Park with fantastic scenery, Berber villages, remote valleys & a short guided hike.

Marrakech – Aghbalou – Setti Fadma – Chiqr – Touichtt – Hadd n’Azegaour – Marrakech

Departure from Marrakech around 8.30 in the morning for a 2.5-hour drive south to one of Morocco’s most beautiful places – the Ourika Valley. Some 33km from Marrakech, this valley really starts at Dar Caid Ouriki, with its ruined, caidal kasbah and mosque. On reaching the village of Tiguemi n’Oumzilet, drive on up through hills amid olive groves to visit the ochre-red village of Akhlij, then on to the hamlet of Asouqane and a stop at Aghbalou, set amongst terraced fields seeming to hang from the slopes. From here, carry on almost to the end of the valley until you reach the riverside hamlet of Setti Fadma, famed for its nearby waterfalls and ancient walnut trees set amidst a backdrop of three sides of the magnificent High Atlas peaks of some 3500m.

Here, leave the vehicle to start a 5-6 hour private, guided circle hike towards the west across the river, setting out from Agadir n’Ait Boulmane (1509m) and then towards the north up along a narrow winding path towards the Berber hamlet of Chiqr (1900m), on through the col of the Tizi n’Ougadil n’Boulmane (2200m) with the Jbel Oukaimeden range before you. From here, circle down to Imi n’Taddert and on up through the valley to the village of Tourichtt, where your guide will prepare a field picnic beside a delightful waterfall; an opportunity, perhaps, to get refreshed.

After lunch the afternoon 2-hour hike is made by setting out down alongside small waterfalls and stark slopes to Amlougghi, to arrive eventually at the village of Ait Barqa where you will cross the river to rejoin your vehicle at Hadd n’Azegaour at around 5 pm for your return to Marrakech, where you should arrive back at around 7 in the evening.
