The Ourika Valley in the Evening: A Berber Dinner by the Water

The Golden Hour in the Atlas Mountains

Far from the hustle and bustle of the medina, let yourself be swept away by an evening at golden hour in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Depart from Marrakech in the late afternoon to reach the Ourika Valley at the most photogenic time of day.

After a scenic stop at Setti Fatma and an optional visit to a women’s argan oil cooperative, enjoy a leisurely stroll along the river, passing through Berber villages as the evening light bathes the mountains.

The evening ends on a high note with a traditional Moroccan dinner served by the water—your choice of tagine, Moroccan salads, and fresh fruit—before a nighttime return to Marrakech.
