DAY TRIP TO THE OURIKA VALLEY
Ourika Valley is one of the most beautiful valleys in Morocco and a very popular attraction for both tourists and locals. Just 65 kilometers from Marrakech, you completely change the scenery from an arid brown view to a lush green valley and bright colors.
Many argan oil cooperatives operate in the valley because it is rich in argan trees, and you can visit one to watch the hardworking women who process the argan nuts and extract the oil from them for both cosmetic and culinary uses. The valley itself offers plenty of opportunities for small hikes and crossing Berber bridges to get from one side of the valley to the other.
If you are sporty enough, you can reach the seven waterfalls of Setti Fatma and of course a local guide can accompany you through the valley and help you with the small obstacles here and there. Choose a nice restaurant and have a good lunch next to it or even in the middle of the river with your feet in the water.
The Ourika Valley, at the foot of the High Atlas Mountains, is just 45 minutes southeast of Marrakech. The valley offers a great escape from the heat of Marrakech for locals during the summer months.
