Approximately sixty kilometres from Marrakech, and spreading between the first foothills of the Atlas Mountains, the Ourika Valley is one of the most beautiful and best preserved valleys in Morocco
With tiny villages clinging to the steep hillsides, waterfalls and rocky landscapes merging with the ubiquitous desert, this is a wild and enticing combination on the edge of the Western Atlas. Teeming with vegetation, palmeraies and Berber hamlets, the Ourika Valley showcases the real beauty, magic and rich nature of Morocco
The region is without a doubt the perfect tourist destination for people who seek a Moroccan adventure, discovery, relaxation, and meditation. The Ourika Valley has a wealth of sights to see and places to visit. First, there is the Ourika Valley itself with its beautiful river, berber villages, and waterfalls
While in the Ourika Valley, first start by visiting typical Berber houses, mainly in the beautiful village of Setti Fatma famous for its seven waterfalls; its Argan-oil cooperative is also worth seeing. Then, continue the journey along the valley where you will be astounded by the banks of the Oued where the prairies are generously shaded by poplar trees and other weeping willows.
