Ourika Valley

About

At the foot of the Atlas Mountains, the Ourika Valley offers cooler air and natural beauty just outside Marrakesh. Its accessibility has made it a popular escape from the city, particularly in summer months. Past fields of wildflowers and orchards of almond and cherry, at the far end of the valley is the tiny village-turned-resort-town of Setti Fatma. A pleasant place for lunch by the river, Setti Fatma is also home base for hikers heading off to the stunning ‘seven waterfalls’ of the Ourika Valley.
