Ourika Valley

Taking a day off to visit Ourika Valley (valley of flushing water) which is located southeast of Marrakech starting approximatively 40 km away from the imperial city will give an appreciated break from the city heat.
Ourika valley will emerge slowly and one begins to appreciate the diversity of scenery in this amazing country. The Ourika river cuts through a deep valley littered with small villages and eventually merging into a straggling village.
In Setti Fatma (70km away from Marrakech) is a very popular day-trip or weekend destination for many Marrakshis that is appreciated for its beautiful streams and seven waterfalls. The region is inhabited by Berber people who practice a traditional way of life. It is still considered relatively unspoiled.
