Additional Information

A one-day trip to Ourika Valley, locally termed as Yureken by the natives in their Tamazight language, offers a respite from the world’s rapid pace, urban lights, and the cacophony of city life. This trip proposes an idyllic haven for those seeking solace; for certain individuals, it serves as a serene retreat for mindfulness and alleviating stress and anxiety. Situated amidst the towering elevations of the High Atlas Mountains, the quaint hamlet of Ourika resides on lush, agriculturally vibrant lands, cut across by a river that shares its name. This river is known for its gentle, consistent flow throughout the year, slicing through the mountains and vitalizing the local populace.
The settlement of Ourika has been referred to by a myriad of epithets, including ‘The Hidden Jewel of Marrakesh’ and the ‘Marrakesh Herbal Pharmacy.’ It draws countless visitors and tourists in pursuit of unique botanical specimens for therapeutic, horticultural, or aesthetic purposes.
