Ourika Valley and Berber Village Tour
Among the most beautiful natural regions accessible from Marrakech is the Ourika Valley, set in the heart of the peaks of the High Atlas.
Discovering this region is an opportunity to dive into the heart of authentic Morocco, preserved from rampant urban development. Staying in Marrakech without visiting the Ourika Valley would simply be a shame.
When you set out to conquer the Ourika Valley, it is impossible to resist the charm of the region, as the ecosystem is so preserved.
It is often difficult to imagine that you are only 40 km from the teeming city of Marrakech. The Ourika Valley is characterized above all by a green environment where the river from which it takes its name meanders sometimes lazily, sometimes briskly depending on the intensity of the slopes of the High Atlas. A trail very popular with tourists allows you to discover a series of seven waterfalls.
