Day Trip to Ourika Valley from Marrakech

This is a cool and humid environment, reaching its peak during the spring thaw: fresh streams of water flow vigorously, fostering lush vegetation and vibrant colors, such as the blossoming almond and cherry trees.

The villages scattered along the valley slopes are also highly interesting: they blend perfectly into the environment and host a population with a strong pottery tradition. Therefore, handmade souvenirs and ornamental minerals extracted from the valley can be easily found.

The journey here is short and quick from Marrakech: after just 40 km and 50 minutes, beautiful landscapes will unfold before us.

The Ourika Valley is known for its hidden deep valleys, ancient villages, and lively mountain rivers, providing an authentic insight into Moroccan rural life. The valley’s splendor is most notable between February and April when cherry and almond trees bloom, and mountain rivers intensify due to the thaw.
