A one-day trip to Ourika Valley or Yureken, as the people of the region call it in Tamazight, is an escape trip to a quiet place away from the world's high speed, the lights, and the noise of cities. A trip to a small perfect place for relaxation, but some people, it has become a natural resort for meditation and treatment of stress and tension because the small town of Ourika is located in the heart of the high-rises of the High Atlas Mountains, on agricultural lands in vibrant green tones, traversed by a river flowing in a valley named after In its name, it is characterized by its smooth flow throughout the year, penetrating the mountains of the region and giving life to its residents. The town of Ourika was known by several names, including The Hidden Jewel of Marrakesh, as some called the Marrakesh Herbal Pharmacy, because of the thousands of visitors and tourists for the acquisition of rare types of plants, whether for treatment, planting, or decoration.

From its humble beginnings in the Berber country, the river has flowed down the slopes of the Atlas mountains, between the peak of Tlemcen and the plateau of Timeskar. The green landscapes of the valley, the lazy meandering torrent combined with the small Berber villages in red adobe clinging to the slopes will enchant you.

You can visit the local market of the country, every Monday and Friday: butchers and hairdressers, vegetables, cereals, and olive oil sellers, blacksmiths and sorcerers meet in the tent and under shelters of reeds, with a number of small restaurants scattered in the open air.

Ourika Valley

you will take the road to the Atlas and cross superb landscapes between immensities of green meadows and authentic Berber villages of the 16th and 17th centuries.

On the road, discover many fruit trees, tiny villages, the river bordered by a few restaurants, and the vacation homes of a few lucky lucky people.
