Ourika Valley
The Ourika Valley in the High Atlas starts under 1 hour’s drive south east of Marrakech, and offers a pretty escape from the summer heat of the city. Rising to around 1,200-1,500 metres, this is an ideal area for gentle hiking. It is a very popular day-trip destination from Marrakech, where you can see a lush oasis of vegetation beneath the magnificent Atlas Mountains and meet a Berber people who practice a traditional way of life inhabit the region. Despite its proximity to Marrakech, it is still considered relatively unspoilt.
