 Setti Fatma And the Seven Waterfalls in Marrakech

Setti Fatma is the last douar accessible by road from Marrakech. It is also the starting point for daily excursions and hikes. 

Some tourists come to see the seven waterfalls.And others come to experience the hikes of its mountainous trails.

But everyone agrees that this is a must visit when you are in Morocco.

Setti Fatma was the ascetic daughter of a well known scholar of his time. People remember this lady as a righteous and agreed-upon guardian of religious traditions.

She was a bright student of the scholars of her time. Her distinguished intellect emerged in various jurisprudential sciences. Even more, her enthusiasm and energy qualified her to teach.

Some sources reported that she used to wear clothes that resembled men's clothes.

This unusual attitude led to many harassments against the pious lady. 

To escape people, she used to move between villages on the periphery of Marrakesh.

Finally, Setti Fatma settled in one of the valleys of the Ourika Valley. And this valley became known as the Zawiya of Siti Fatma. 

She then got married and made her home a refuge for the poor, the needy, and the stranger. She spent her money and time helping travelers, sicks, and orphans.

Also, she played a significant role in reconciling personal and tribal disputes. 

Her house earned a powerful influence on the religious, social, and political life. It was a minaret of wisdom in the whole region.
