Posted: Thu Jul 10, 2025 9:05 am
On the second day of our little escape to Marrakech, we had booked an ‘adventure day‘ the Setti Fatma waterfalls in the Ourika Valley, up in the Atlas Mountains. I had always wanted to see the Atlas Mountains, so c level executive list I was really excited when we all came to the decisions that a trip to the waterfalls was the way to go! We booked the trip through our hostel, Equity Point Marrakech, and it cost 250 DH (€25) for the day.
Itinerary:
Pick up from hostel at 9am
Travel by road about 160k to a herb garden
Visit a Berber house
Stop for lunch
Hike to the Setti Fatma waterfalls
Journey home by minibus
Morning pick up

We ate a quick breakfast and packed a small loaf of bread and some water for the day. We were picked up at 9 and walked to the square where we waited a little, as per usual with these group excursions, for the whole group to arrive and get on the bus. Ready to go, we set off for our drive to the mountains.

The roads were windy, and often didn’t have barriers at the side. It reminded me of the drive to Pai – although nowhere near as bad! We stopped at a viewpoint to take photographs of the beautiful valley.
