A true haven of greenery and freshness 30km from Marrakech
About 30 kilometres from our restaurant in Marrakech, Le Foundouk, the mountain villages with traditional Berber houses in the Ourika Valley are one of the most popular attractions to do outside the red city.
Magnificent landscapes of the High Atlas
The small villages and towns, surrounded by orchards and lush fields, are a pleasant escape from the heat of the city and provide a glimpse of typical Moroccan rural life.
Indeed, this region is populated by Berbers who have kept an authentic mountain lifestyle. A guaranteed change of scenery away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, between noise and bustle!
On Mondays, don't miss the weekly market held in the village of Tnine. A market filled with the bustle and colours of local life.
Hikes starting from Setti Fatma
Last village of the valley, you will reach the pretty village of Setti Fatma located 70km from Marrakech, with its waterfalls on the hill overlooking the city. Perched at an altitude of 1500 metres, it is moreover the most famous tourist attraction of the Ourika valley!
From there, go hiking to the 7 waterfalls or opt for the ascent of Mount Toubkal, the highest point of the Atlas Mountains!
Candlelit dinner in the heart of the Medina
After a day exploring the Ourika valley, head for the souks of Marrakech.
This is where you'll find a hidden treasure: the Le Foundouk restaurant and its rooftop overlooking the Medina.
You'll be charmed by the ambience, which blends the charm of traditional Moroccan architecture with a refined decor.
Candles on your table, a wrought-iron chandelier, big armchairs... make yourself comfortable and enjoy the unique atmosphere.
Our recommendation: our restaurant's leafy rooftop. The perfect place for a romantic dinner in Marrakech, with a view of the Medina and the Atlas Mountains.
The chef and his brigade offer two menus:
- a Moroccan cuisine menu to (re)discover the country's classics
- an international menu to savour cuisine from the Levant.
There's something for everyone, couples and friends alike!
