The Ourika valley is a valley in the Moroccan High Atlas located 40 km away from Marrakech. It is mainly populated by Berbers.
It is still considered a relatively unspoilt natural oasis, both for its lush nature of terraced fields, wooded hillsides and waterfalls, and for its traditional mountain lifestyle.
The main attractions of the area are:
- The small mountain village of Setti Fatma, which is the starting point for many excursions into the surrounding mountains. The most popular and easiest hike is up a mountain stream to see 7 beautiful waterfalls.
- The Timalizene garden, mainly planted with species native to the region.
- The Ourika saffron farm, a farm which has the particularity of producing saffron. Its visit is most interesting from the end of October to mid-November during the harvest of this spice.
- The bio-aromatic garden of Ourika: this organic garden of aromatic and medicinal plants allows you to discover the scents and medicinal virtues of the plants.
- The Berber Ecomuseum of the Ourika Valley, located in the pottery village of Tafza. It highlights Berber culture through a collection of photographs, pottery, jewellery, carpets and weavings.
