Day trip from Marrakech

The vast majority of tours departing from Marrakech through the Atlas end up passing through the Ourika Valley, which runs along the river of the same name. Place where the inhabitants of Marrakech usually escape to spend a festive day in one of the many restaurants/merenderos built along the river, with chairs prepared to eat with your feet soaking. I guess in summer it is a refreshing option, but in winter, with the icy waters I do not think it is a good choice.

Do not miss it

It is close to Marrakech. Do not miss it. A real unexpected contrast. Also originality of the tourist restaurants. A river in which you can sink and cool your feet while eating. Fun and different

Wonderful visit

An excellent excursion from Marrakech to go with the whole family. The most daring can climb to the falls and the older ones can enjoy the Valley and an exquisite Moroccan tajin on the banks of the river. There are many restaurants with an exquisite treatment and good food at a very good price.
