Know before you go

Roads are winding, so bring motion-sickness tablets if you need them. It is cooler in the mountains, even in summer.

What to book

A day trip with lunch in a village and a short walk to the Ourika or Imlil valley.

What to check before you pay

  • Confirm total time on the coach versus time at each stop.
  • Check whether entrance fees and lunch are included.
  • Look for a pick-up point close to your hotel, not just a central meeting spot.
