Ourika Valley
Ourika Valley is the nearest of the preferred destinations. Just 60 minutes from town, you will find a completely different way of life. Mainly inhabited by berbers, this valley is a delight to see. Stop at a roadside café and eat a berber tagine by the riverside, or lunch in Ourika’s best restaurant Le Ramuncho. Alternatively, enjoy the spectacular views and excellent restaurant at Kasbah Bab Ourika. The option of climbing to the Setti Fatma waterfalls is available for those who feel fit and adventurous.
Asni and the Ouirgane Valley
About 90 minutes from Marrakech, this is a beautiful area to visit. You will pass different types of mountain terrain, visit a berber village and lunch in one of the area’s many delightful guesthouses. There are berber markets on Tuesdays and Thursdays which are well worth a visit.
Jbel Toubkal
The highest mountain in the High Atlas range. Enjoy a truly scenic drive through the mountains and visit the Kasbah du Toubkal with its 360 degree view of the mountains. Lunch can be arranged at the Kasbah and for the adventurous among you, trekking can also be organised.
All mountain tours are chauffeur driven without guide unless specified. 4x4 tours can be arranged if you are looking to see a more rugged side of these destinations and go off of the regular tourist track. Trips can also be arranged to Essaouira—an ancient Portuguese fishing port—and to Ouarzazate, the gateway to the Sahara. We are also happy to arrange private tours in the south of Morocco to visit the desert. Please contact us for more information.
