Highlights
  • Ourika Valley - OURIKA valley is located in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. It sits sixty five kilometres from Marrakech in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Even though the OURIKA valley is near to the populated Marrakesh, it is one of the most unspoiled valleys in all of Morocco.

The valley is a maze of lush greens within salt mines; The OURIKA Valley is one of the most beautiful and best preserved valleys in Morocco. The region is without a doubt the perfect destination for people who seek Moroccan adventure, discovery relaxation and meditation.

Through OURIKA Valley is the OURIKA River, which begins in the High Atlas Mountains and runs down towards Marrakesh. The OURIKA Valley is much more than tourists’ location since it houses a number of plant species and the rare Barbary Macaques. The high Atlas excursion is great for those who want to see the beautiful splendour of the high Atlas Mountains without trekking to the summit. The trek begins at a Berber village called \

Thank you Abdou for the perfect service and kindness - We had the excellent surprize to work with Abdou, as our family driver for over one week in the Marrakech area. Abdou was 100% reliant and in good spirits, despite the various change of plans, even last minute. I would strongly recommend working with Abdou and his company.

Private tour with driver, Ourika Valley - We had a great day in the Ourika valley with Ahmed as our private driver/guide. He arranged a guide to take us up the 7 waterfalls at Setti Fadma as well as stopping to see views and interesting sites along the way. We had lunch at aurocher, a beautiful spot with great food on the road to Oukaimeden which we would also highly recommend. Ahmed is a kind friendly and knowledgeable person and also and excellent driver. In booking via WhatsApp the company were very responsive and addressed all our questions and requests. We felt the fees were reasonable for a private driver with a nice Mercedes Vito minibus. We would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Would use again if in morocco - we used Driss as our driver on three different occasions when we were in Morocco. The airline lost our car seat and we searched for a safe driver who also had a car seat for a 1.5 year old- we are so thankful we found Driss! He picked us up in a nice vehicle, we were able to safely drive around with our kiddo. He was always in time and very quick to communicate. He was a very safe driver!
