Visiting the Atlas Mountain Valley of Ourika for a day trip
Code: LMJUYH
Description
The Ourika River flows through the fertile Ourika Valley, which is located in the Moroccan High Atlas.
It’s only about 30 kilometers from Marrakech and is primarily inhabited by Shilha-speaking Berbers.
Despite its proximity to Marrakech, it is still considered a relatively well-preserved valley because of
its nature and the traditional mountain life. The paved road ends in Setti-Fatma,
the last of the small towns (or douars) along the way. From here, hikers can access the nearby mountains.
“The most prized and easiest hike consists of climbing the length of a mountain torrent to discover the cascades.
