 "faq": [
  {
   "question": "Can we build our own combination?",
   "answer": "Yes. These four packages are the combinations our guests ask for most, but the day is private, so we can adjust it: a cooperative visit instead of a garden, a longer walk, a quieter lunch. Tell us what matters to you and we check that the timing works in one day."
  },
  {
   "question": "Is the camel ride like a Sahara experience?",
   "answer": "No, and we prefer to say it clearly. It is a short ride with a camel handler at a roadside stop in the foothills, a fun break and a good photo. For dunes and nights in a camp, you need a multi-day trip to the Sahara, far from Marrakech."
  },
  {
   "question": "Do I need experience to drive a quad?",
   "answer": "No. The session starts with a briefing and a short practice with the instructor of our partner base, and helmets are provided. Beginners ride at an easy pace. Tell us the ages of everyone in your group so we can check the rules for younger riders with the base."
  },
  {
   "question": "When can we ski or see snow at Oukaïmeden?",
   "answer": "Only when there is enough snow, roughly January to March, and it varies a lot from year to year. Some winters are generous, others almost dry. We check conditions close to your date. Outside winter, the plateau is a cool green escape with prehistoric rock engravings."
  },
  {
   "question": "How much do the packages cost and how do we pay?",
   "answer": "Ourika with a camel ride: 120 EUR per vehicle for 1 to 7 people (200 EUR for 8 to 17) plus 15 EUR per person. Ourika with quad: the same vehicle price plus 30 EUR per person. Trek and lunch with a Berber family: 60 EUR per person, transport from Marrakech optional. Ourika and Oukaïmeden: 180 EUR per vehicle for 1 to 7 people, 260 EUR for 8 to 17. Payment is online, by PayPal or card."
  },
  {
   "question": "How much do the half day, the Agafay day, the cooking class and the pottery workshop cost?",
   "answer": "Half day: 120 EUR per vehicle for 1 to 7 people, 200 EUR for 8 to 17, with breakfast by the river (20 EUR per person) and a waterfalls guide (40 or 80 EUR per group) as options. Ourika and Agafay: 180 EUR per vehicle for 1 to 7 people, 260 EUR for 8 to 17. Cooking class: 60 EUR per person. Pottery workshop: 30 EUR per person. For both, transport from Marrakech is optional. All are paid online."
  },
  {
   "question": "What is the cancellation policy?",
   "answer": "Free cancellation up to 7 days before the trip, with a full refund. Later cancellations and no-shows are not refunded. If weather or river conditions make the valley unsafe, we propose another date or a full refund."

 "content_markdown": "Ourika Valley packages are private days from Marrakech that add a second experience to a visit of the valley. Four combinations exist: Ourika with a short camel ride, Ourika with a quad session, a trek and lunch with a Berber family, and Ourika with the Oukaïmeden plateau at about 2,600 m. Three other outings, also paid online, have their own pages: the half day (from 120 EUR), Ourika and Agafay (from 180 EUR) and a cooking class (60 EUR per person). The combined days start and end in Marrakech, in a private vehicle with a driver who speaks French, English and Spanish; transport is optional for the trek. Prices: camel ride, 120 EUR per vehicle (1 to 7 people) plus 15 EUR per person; quad, the same plus 30 EUR per person; trek and family lunch, 60 EUR per person without transport; Oukaïmeden, 180 EUR per vehicle (260 EUR for 8 to 17), paid online. Cancellation is free up to 7 days before.\n\nThe classic [Ourika Valley day trip](https://ourika-valley.com/day-trip-ourika-valley/) already fills a day: the drive through Berber villages, an [argan oil cooperative](https://ourika-valley.com/services/womens-argan-oil-cooperative/) run by women, the walk towards the waterfalls of Setti Fatma and lunch by the river. Some of our guests want something more, or something different. These four packages are the combinations we are asked for most.\n\n## Can you combine the Ourika Valley with a camel ride?\n\nOn the way to the valley, the plain between Marrakech and the Atlas foothills has a few roadside camel stops, where handlers keep a small group of camels saddled for visitors. We stop at one of them for a short ride, led on foot by the camel handler, with the mountains ahead. Then we continue to the Ourika Valley for the rest of the day.\n\nLet us be honest about what this is: **a short ride**, a fun break and a good photo, not a desert trek. There are no dunes here. If you dream of the Sahara, that is a multi-day trip far to the south.\n\n- **What the day includes:** private vehicle and driver, pickup and drop-off in Marrakech, the camel ride at a stop on the way, then the Ourika programme (villages, cooperative, Setti Fatma).\n- **Price:** 120 EUR per vehicle for 1 to 7 people (200 EUR for 8 to 17 people, in a minibus) for the transport, plus 15 EUR per person for the camel ride. Example: 4 people pay 120 + 4 x 15 = 180 EUR. Paid online at booking.\n- **Who it suits:** families with children, first-time visitors to Morocco, anyone who wants to try a camel without spending a night in the desert.\n- **Season:** all year. In summer, a morning ride is more pleasant than midday.\n\n## Can you combine the Ourika Valley with quad biking?\n\nThis package adds a quad session with a partner quad base in the foothills and palm grove area on the Marrakech side of the valley. The base provides the quads, helmets and a briefing, and an instructor rides with the group along dirt tracks between palm trees and dry riverbeds. Beginners go at an easy pace; there is no need for experience.\n\n- **What the day includes:** private vehicle and driver, pickup and drop-off in Marrakech, the quad session with the partner base (quad, helmet, instructor), then time in the Ourika Valley.\n- **Price:** 120 EUR per vehicle for 1 to 7 people (200 EUR for 8 to 17 people, in a minibus) for the transport, plus 30 EUR per person for the quad session. Example: 2 people pay 120 + 2 x 30 = 180 EUR. Paid online at booking.\n- **Who it suits:** friends, couples and teenagers who want some action along with the landscapes. Tell us the ages of everyone in your group when you book, so we can check the rules for younger riders.\n- **Season:** all year. Tracks are dusty in summer, so bring sunglasses and a scarf to cover your face.\n\n## Trek and lunch with a Berber family\n\nThis is the quietest of our days and, for many guests, the one they remember best. With a local guide from the valley you walk on mule paths between villages, above terraced fields watered by the seguias (the traditional irrigation canals), then share a home-cooked lunch in a Berber house, usually a tagine, bread from the clay oven and mint tea. The walk is at a relaxed pace and adapted to the group.\n\nYou will find the full programme on our page [trek and lunch with a Berber family](https://ourika-valley.com/services/atlas-mountains-trek-lunch-with-a-berber-family/).\n\n- **What the outing includes:** a local guide for the walk and the home-cooked lunch with tea in the family house. Transport from Marrakech is not included. Details are on the dedicated page.\n- **Price:** 60 EUR per person for the guide, the walk and the lunch, paid online at booking. Transport from Marrakech is an option added at booking: a private vehicle with driver, 120 EUR for 1 to 7 people or 200 EUR for 8 to 17, return trip from your hotel or riad. Example: 4 people with transport pay 4 x 60 + 120 = 360 EUR, 90 EUR each. You can also come by your own means to the meeting point in the valley, which we confirm after booking.\n- **Who it suits:** walkers of all levels who prefer people and villages to crowded spots; families with children used to walking.\n- **Season:** spring and autumn are ideal; summer mornings are fine; winter days are short and can be cold, but clear.\n\n## Ourika Valley and Oukaïmeden\n\nAt Aghbalou, a mountain road leaves the Ourika Valley and climbs to the Oukaïmeden plateau, at about 2,600 m, one of the highest ski areas in Africa. This package combines the lower valley with a climb to the plateau, where high pastures, stone shepherd huts and prehistoric rock engravings (animals, weapons and symbols carved into the rock) share the space with the ski lifts.\n\n- **What the day includes:** private vehicle and driver, pickup and drop-off in Marrakech, a stop in the Ourika Valley, the drive up to Oukaïmeden and free time on the plateau. We can arrange a local guide on the plateau to find the engravings, which are scattered and easy to miss on your own.\n- **Price:** 180 EUR per vehicle for 1 to 7 people, 260 EUR for 8 to 17 people in a minibus, paid online at booking.\n- **Who it suits:** travellers who have already seen Setti Fatma, photographers, families who want to see snow, and anyone looking for cool air in summer.\n- **Season:** in winter, the ski area opens only when there is enough snow, roughly January to March, and this varies a lot from year to year. We check conditions close to your date and adapt the plan if the road is difficult. From late spring to autumn, the plateau is green and cool, a welcome break from the heat of Marrakech. Bring a warm layer at any season: it is much colder up there than in the city.\n\nRead our guide on [getting to the Ourika Valley](https://ourika-valley.com/services/getting-to-ourika-valley/) for more on the Oukaïmeden road. Our [Oukaïmeden guide](https://ourika-valley.com/oukaimeden-day-trip-from-marrakech/) covers the snow season, the ski lifts and what to do on the plateau.\n\n## Ourika Valley half day\n\nBeyond the four combined days above, three other private outings have their own page, and they too are booked and paid online. The first is for travellers short on time: departure from Marrakech at 7:00 am, Setti Fatma, a walk to the waterfalls, a village and a cooperative, and back in the city around noon. The early start means cool air and a quiet path. It costs 120 EUR per vehicle for 1 to 7 people (200 EUR for 8 to 17). Two options are chosen at booking: breakfast at a table set in the river, 20 EUR per person, and a local guide for the waterfalls, 40 EUR per group for 1 to 7 people or 80 EUR for 8 to 17. Example: 2 people with breakfast and guide pay 120 + 2 x 20 + 40 = 200 EUR. Full programme: [Ourika Valley half day](https://ourika-valley.com/ourika-valley-half-day-trip/).\n\n## Ourika Valley and Agafay desert\n\nTwo landscapes in one private day: the green valley in the morning, then the stone desert of Agafay, south-west of Marrakech, for sunset. Agafay has no sand dunes, and the two places lie in different directions, so the day includes about four hours of driving. It costs 180 EUR per vehicle for 1 to 7 people (260 EUR for 8 to 17). At Agafay, three options are chosen at booking, per person: camel ride 30 EUR, quad 35 EUR, dinner with show at a desert camp 45 EUR. Example: 4 people with the camel ride and the dinner show pay 180 + 4 x 30 + 4 x 45 = 480 EUR, 120 EUR each. Lunch in the valley is paid on the spot. We explain honestly who it suits on the page [Ourika Valley and Agafay desert in one day](https://ourika-valley.com/ourika-valley-and-agafay-desert-day-trip/).\n\n## Cooking class with a family\n\nA hands-on class in a family home in a village of the valley: you cook a tagine, bake bread in the clay oven and prepare mint tea with the family, then eat together. The dish depends on the season and on what you prefer. It costs 60 EUR per person for the class, the ingredients, the meal and tea. Transport from Marrakech is an option at booking (private vehicle with driver, 120 EUR for 1 to 7 people, 200 EUR for 8 to 17, return trip), or you come by your own means to the meeting point confirmed after booking. Example: 2 people with transport pay 2 x 60 + 120 = 240 EUR. Details on the page [cooking class with a family](https://ourika-valley.com/cooking-class-ourika-valley/). If you would rather work with clay than with dough, our pottery workshop lets you try the wheel with a potter for 30 EUR per person, and you take your piece home; transport is optional in the same way. See our [pottery guide](https://ourika-valley.com/services/pottery-village-ourika/).\n\n## How do you book a package?\n\nEvery outing on this page, the four combined days as well as the half day, the Ourika and Agafay day, the cooking class and the pottery workshop, is booked on our booking page and paid online with PayPal or a bank card via PayPal: the confirmation email arrives at once, and cancellation is free up to 7 days before the trip. Online booking goes up to 17 people for every offer; above 17, write to us on WhatsApp (+212 755 700 484) or at booking@ourika-valley.com.
