A one-day trip to Ourika Valley or Yureken, as the people of the region call it in Tamazight, is an escape trip to a quiet place away from the world's high speed, the lights, and the noise of cities. A trip to a small perfect place for relaxation, but some people, it has become a natural resort for meditation and treatment of stress and tension because the small town of Ourika is located in the heart of the high-rises of the High Atlas Mountains, on agricultural lands in vibrant green tones, traversed by a river flowing in a valley named after In its name, it is characterized by its smooth flow throughout the year, penetrating the mountains of the region and giving life to its residents.
The town of Ourika was known by several names, including The Hidden Jewel of Marrakesh, as some called the Marrakesh Herbal Pharmacy, because of the thousands of visitors and tourists for the acquisition of rare types of plants, whether for treatment, planting, or decoration.
