If you are looking for a quick and easy escape from the busy streets of Marrakech, the Ourika Valley is a fantastic option. As it is preferred by both Moroccans as well as by tourists, in summer especially you will meet lot of Marrakeshis who are escaping the heat of city to picnic on the green riverbanks of the Ourika River
This trip gives you the opportunity to enjoy beautiful nature while also getting a look into the traditional life of Berber people
