Embracing the Atlas: A Journey into the Heart of Sti Fadma
As the crisp autumn air sweeps through the Atlas Mountains, Sti Fadma emerges as a beacon for those seeking the raw beauty of Morocco’s rugged landscapes. The weekend of November 9th and 10th offers a unique opportunity to explore this enchanting region, where the weather is as inviting as the adventures that await.

Begin your journey with the Atlas Mountains Excursion, available from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. This excursion takes you through the ancient Berber trails and the verdant Ourika Valley, where the silence is only broken by the gentle whispers of nature. As you traverse the valley, you’ll be greeted by the smiles of the Berber people, whose villages nestle in the foothills of the High Atlas. The journey culminates at the Setti Fatma waterfalls, where the cool waters provide a refreshing respite. One recent review, dated 2024-09-18, captures the essence of this experience:
Great day of hiking as a day trip from Marrakech - A great day out that started being picked up from our Riad in Marrakech by the lovely driver Kareem, who drove us up to the starting point for the hike (about an hour or so drive). There we met our guide Ibrahim, who took us out for the day. He saw that we were relatively fit as a couple so suggested we did a different walk than the normal one so that we could see the best views, and the harder walk was definitely worth it! We ate our packed lunches at the peak, and enjoyed the stunning views. On our way back down from the top, we stopped for some mint tea at Ibrahim’s house in the village we passed through, and then saw the waterfalls on our way back to the meeting point to drive back to Marrakech. All in all, we were hiking for around 4-5 hours, so a great option for a day out from Marrakech. The terrain was quite rugged in places, so would definitely recommend sturdy shoes/boots.
The Allure of Ourika: A Cultural Tapestry
The Ourika Valley is not just a feast for the eyes but a cultural tapestry that weaves together the rich traditions of the Berber people. On November 9th, from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM, immerse yourself in the Ourika Valley Tour, where you’ll visit a Berber village and experience the warmth of traditional hospitality. This tour offers a glimpse into the lives of the Berber people, whose resilience is mirrored in the rugged beauty of their surroundings.
As you wander through the valley, you’ll encounter fruit orchards, vegetable terraces, and villages clinging to the hillsides. The labor of the Berbers, who hoisted materials to construct their homes on the mountainsides, is a testament to their enduring spirit. A review from 2024-09-12 highlights the unforgettable nature of this experience:
The best experience. - I had a tour to Ourika with my best friend. Our guide was Mohammed from the tour company Get Your Guide Morocco. I recommend this company to everyone. We felt very safe. The driver was so professional and kind. He waited for us while we were climbing the waterfall. After this, we lunched together and he brought us back to our hotel in Marrakech. So a 100% recommendation for this company. Safe, professional, and fun.
