Ourika valley!! Oh what a place. We had a great time at the locations we visited, and the guide was well informed. The meal beside the river was excellent, and the hike to the waterfall was the perfe…Full review by Abhijit B

The Ourika Valley and waterfall are an absolute scam. A huge tourist trap. In the parking you are met by a paid "guide" who takes you to the waterfall. He tells you cannot go by your own. Of course …Full review by Daniel D

Hi, i would like to know is it okay taking 5 month old baby in the valley. I am going to be driving there and was wondering as i do not want to do a trek
A:
Hi Solly, I would say it is fine to take your baby and the locals will love him or her. Moroccans love children and a small baby would be spoilt rotten.
I like your review and like the idea of going on my own in such daily trips away from tours and agencies. I was looking at this marrakech-desert-trips website got so excited but then I read some reviews here and just wanted to know if its really better/easy to get on a bus and get to the valley and guide myself in doing the walks ...etc. Thanks.

Hello we are a couple visiting Marrakech at the end of August. We have 1 day free and we don't if we should go to Essaouria, Ouzoud Cascades or the Ourika Valley. Suggestions?

We just wrapped a trip to Marrakech and with out extra day we decided to use it for the Ourika Valley. That being said we didn't feel compelled to get to the coast because we had just surfed in Taghazout for 4 days with Surf Maroc so you might feel drawn to take that trip. The Ourika Valley was amazing! It was about a 45 min to 1 hour drive from Marrakech. You could spend an entire day there. There are 7 waterfalls to get to. We hiked with a 4 and 6 year old and only made it to waterfall #2. Then after we had lunch on the river. You might need to do your homework as the water flow was strong in April as the snow was melting from the Atlas. I'm not sure what the flow will be like in August. Our guide in Marrakech was telling me last summer it reached 50 C in the city. I don't know if the hike would be as amazing without the water flow. Waterfall #7 was supposed to be amazing if there is water and you can make it. About a 3 hour hike. If you can ask for a guide I recommend Abdul Kamir. That kid is nails. I hear good things about Ouzoud but we didn't make it. The trip cost was about 160 Eur but we weren't packaged up with other passengers. Also, the company that took us wanted to show us a lake after. I would recommend you skip that and spend all of your time at the waterfalls and the hike. Hope that helps and good luck.
