Read guideOurika Valley includes a local guide for the Setti Fatma hiking section. The guided round trip is about 1.5–1.75 hours depending on group pace.
Essaouira includes approximately 3.5–4 hours of free time around the Medina and old port area before meeting the driver for the return journey.
Ait Ben Haddou is built around the High Atlas crossing, Tizi n'Tichka and the ksar visit, so it uses more of the day for the scenic road journey than the other two current trips.
