A brilliant trip made by our fantastic Guide - The trip was really made by our Guide Hassan. He was so helpful and informative.
We started with a camel ride (100 DRM) dressed in local Berber clothes. Then to a cooperative for argon oil which I wasn’t that interested in but it was a short interlude & the ladies were so lovely.
Then we headed to our walk.
The weather was really bad but Hassan was very good and for those who didn’t have a rain coat he stopped at a shop to get us big plastic sheets to put over our clothes (10 DRM)
At the top of the mountain my son who’s 13 got a bit of vertigo and was scared and Hassan was so good taking his hand and guiding him the whole way back down.
Thank you Hassan for your kindness.
A word of advice-the walk is not for anyone with joint or mobility issues as it’s mostly steep walking on stones/rocks which got very slippy with the rain.
My 80 yr old Mum who is super fit decided not to do it as it would have been too much for her.
The walk was almost 3 hours also, probably longer due to the hard rain.
We then went to a great local restaurant with genuine Moroccan food -3 courses for 120 DRM which was well worth it as it was so tasty.

Great ourika experience - I had the pleasure of enjoying a day trip to Ourika. It was perfect from start to finish. Pick-up from our accommodation was on time. The driver was very friendly and his explanations were clear. His driving is safe. Once there we were welcomed by the guide Hassan. In addition to being smiling, he was attentive throughout the entire excursion and the climb to the waterfall. Concerning ourika I found it to be a very pretty region. The riverside restaurants give a special charm conducive to relaxation. The welcome in the restaurant was great and the people of the region are very welcoming. I therefore recommend this excursion and I particularly thank our driver Jamal as well as the guide Hassan who were perfect from start to finish.

Day trip to Ourika Valley Atlas Mountains - The shuttle arrived at the hotel on time, and then we set off to the Ourika valley in the Atlas Mountains. Our guide was a very nice person, we received a lot of information both on the way and on the spot. The environment is simply wonderful, the people are kind, the food was delicious.

Great trip - Really enjoyed this trip. Hassan the guide was a star! Enjoyed the visit to the Co-op - buy your Argan stuff there as cheaper and helps locals more. Enjoyed the walk up to waterfall. Be aware it’s quite steep on way up and down. There is a cafe at top so take money with you. Enjoyed the meal at the restaurant at the end of the path down from the waterfall - 3 courses for 120DH (possible to share)

Good to get out - Good to get out of the city and see the countryside. Nice walk up to see the waterfall- about an hour there and back, and peaceful. The town for lunch is a bit tacky with lots of building (our lunch spot was next to a bulldozer). If you want to get out for one day, High Atlas Mountains is a better option

Not worth it to discover the valley - Not seen much of Ourika as most of stops are in places where they try to force you buying stuff (pharmacy, house, restaurant) so that in the end you only do a small walk to the waterfall. Also pick up was very messy with 1h waiting for other van.

Great tour but awful journey - Although the tour was great and the views and the hike is recommended the journey there was about 2hours with no AC. We booked an air conditioning vehicle and there was no AC - the driver opened his window but in a 9 seater van, in 30 degrees heat with no air or cooling system the journey there was horrendous
