Ourika Valley - Superb family day in the Ourika valley: magnificent waterfall, lunch with a local in a Berber village. For those who want an athypic excursion, you can go there with your eyes closed. Hamed is very friendly and smiling.

Memorable experience - One word: INCREDIBLE! This excursion is unique, you will not be disappointed. We wanted an excursion that stood out from the rest and this was made for us. The opportunity to eat with a Berber family makes the excursion even more memorable. The hike is not that long but be careful of your knees! You need to be in good shape and have the right shoes but once you arrive, you will be amazed. Little customer's eye to the guide who was attentive and who explained many things to us throughout the journey (at our request). If you want an authentic activity, choose this one!

Superb excursion with magnificent landscapes! - We had an exceptional day thanks to Ahmed who first came to pick us up from the hotel and then guided us throughout the day! On the program: magnificent landscapes, waterfalls, a typical lunch in a real Berber village!! Lunch was excellent! We were able to talk a lot with Ahmed and ask tons of questions about Moroccan culture, religion etc. Ahmed is a fabulous person with a superb mentality that we really loved!!! He is extremely kind and super attentive! We were also able to visit a cooperative of women who work with argan. We were able to visit a Berber house and chat with carpet makers! Everything was perfect so I recommend 100%!!
