Highlight of our holiday - We booked a private tour into the Atlas Mountains, up to the waterfalls and lunch at a local Berber house. Our driver was Mouad who, from the moment he picked us up at 9am was friendly, informative and courteous. Our transport was in an air conditioned car. We had several stops to take photos and at a carpet shop in a mountain village. We also stopped at a women’s cooperative where they make argon products by hand. After partaking of mint tea at a riverside restaurant a lovely local Berber guide took us up to the waterfalls which were worth visiting especially after the rain the previous two nights. There are local craft stalls situated along the first park of the trek up to the waterfalls. As we climbed there were a stunning views across the valley. After the waterfalls we went to a local Berber house where the family served us the most delicious lunch of salad, bread, chicken tagine and fruit. We returned to our hotel about 6pm. It was such a lovely day and the highlight of our holiday. I can’t recommend the service highly enough.

Suspended moment in the Ourika Valley - We spent a magical day in the Ourika Valley. Thanks a lot to Othman, our driver who was very careful with us and our exchanges were very interesting (special mention for the playlist of the route). We had the chance to have lunch with a breathtaking view in a Berber house and enjoy a delicious lunch in the sun, made by our driver's family.

Good experience - A day in the valley of ourika. Lunch feet in the water, and qq monkeys to welcome you before going to see the waterfall. Very nice place, even if it remains very touristy. Otmane was our guide for the day, and assured, very kind and safe driving.
