- Ourika Valley - Marrakech is a stunning city full of landscapes and natural mountains. One of the greatest natural sights is the Ourika Valley, located 30km south of Marrakech. The Ourika Valley lies in the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains, a beautiful expanse of lush greenery with mud villages nestled on the mountainsides. The “Jardin du Safran” in the village of TnineOurika is a saffron farm open to visitors, while a little further afield the Bioaromatic Gardens grow 45 varieties of aromatic and medicinal plants that invite you to both taste and smell.
The terraced Timalizene Garden also offers visitors its special Berber tea, scented with home-grown herbs. The road ends in Setti-Fatma, at the end of the breathtaking valley, but those who are more adventurous can continue on foot to the seven waterfalls that await discovery.
