The Ourika Valley Featured

About this experience

Among the natural gems accessible from Marrakech, the Ourika Valley stands out, nestled in the heart of the High Atlas Mountains. Exploring this region offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in the preserved authenticity of Morocco, far from the rampant urbanization. Missing a visit to the Ourika Valley during a stay in Marrakech would truly be a shame.

As soon as you venture into the Ourika Valley, you are instantly captivated by the charm of this unspoiled ecosystem. It’s hard to imagine that the hustle and bustle of Marrakech is just 40 km away. The Ourika Valley is characterized by its lush setting, where the river of the same name winds its way, sometimes peacefully and other times vigorously, depending on the slopes of the High Atlas. Visitors can follow a popular trail to discover a series of seven waterfalls. Beyond the natural beauty, many traditional villages, seemingly frozen in time, are perched on the mountainsides.
