Ourika Valley
A green oasis in the Atlas, famous for its waterfalls, terraced fields and the hospitality of its Berber villages.
The green valley at the gates of Marrakech
About an hour's drive from Marrakech, the Ourika valley follows the river of the same name up to the foothills of the High Atlas. Its lush landscapes contrast with the arid Moroccan plain.
Our excursions combine cultural discovery (argan oil cooperative, Berber market) with nature (a hike to the Setti Fatma waterfalls), with a lunch break on one of the terraces overlooking the river.
