Tips

DAY TRIP TO OURIKA VALLEY :

The High Atlas is the biggest mountain range in North Africa. It offers extremely impressive Mountain biking, hiking trails and mountain photography. High peaks force the clouds to give high quantities of rainfall; therefore the High Atlas has many fertile valleys surrounded by rivers and waterfalls; in summer when the weather is exhausting, ourika valley is a good escape at only one hour drive from Marrakesh. Setti Fatma is at the end of the Ourika Valley; It has seven beautiful waterfalls, breathtaking views and mountain trails that require a pair of good hiking shoes. It’s a breathtaking sight that cannot be missed! Mainly when it’s combined with a visit of a Berber family in traditional house and a camel ride.
