A trip to the Ourika Valley is a amazing escape from the heat and noise of Marrakesh. The first thirty minutes, you drive through a rather dull, flat plan. At the village, souk tnine de lourika, the breathtaking views of Berber villages and landscapes begin. There is a amazing Monday souk at this roadside village. Setti Fatma is the location to go, if the road is not too washed out. If you take anything but a four wheel drive, especially during spring, you will be dropped off beside a stream of icy water. Above the village, you can wander around waterfalls. The higher waterfalls can be difficult to climb, and especially to come down. Wear good foot wear! Its possible to set out for trekking to Toubkal from Setti Fatma. The valley is in the middle of the Atlas mountains. The Djebel Yagour with prehistoric rock carvings, the Djebel Tougledn (at least 1 night overnight) are for adventurous trekkers. A three day trek across the Zat Valley, beginning at Setti Fatma and ending beneath Taddert on the Tizi nTichka is spectacular but challenging. For guides, go to the Cafe Azagza.
