A dust-sweet morning in Marrakesh, a minivan door closing and the city’s heat giving way to the cool, terraced slopes of the Ourika Valley — that’s where this two-day sweep begins. The road climbs past almond orchards and shale outcrops; rivers braid through terraces and the Atlas looms like a low, folded spine. Guests meet a local mountain guide for a short, purposeful hike (about an hour) that climbs through mule tracks to a viewpoint and nearby waterfalls, where water seems to dare you closer.
