One of the most beautiful places you can visit in Morocco, and unlike the usual, the Ourika region is generally beautiful in its simplicity and not in its luxury. The welcome from its residents makes Ourika warm despite the relatively cold weather due to its height among the high Atlas Mountains. Berber villages are preserving their Amazigh traditions and heritage which date back to before the sixteenth century and even before the Islamic conquest of Morocco, where the ancient inhabitants of the region lived with the first Jewish heritage during the first centuries AD.
Admire a visit to a real Berber house.

Our journey begins by passing through the most luxurious street in Marrakesh, Boulevard Mohammed VI, named after the current Moroccan king. Immediately after, we will see houses and neighbourhoods that are less luxurious and tend to be simple. People in traditional clothes, cattle and beasts by the road, lots of cars and crowded shops, this is the Scorpion village, and it is the last urban area before going forward, through the mountains. The views will inevitably differ for you between villages that inhabited the foothills and others that deliberately inhabited the tops of the mountains where you do not see a clear path for them. A little pose for souvenir photos. Why not take a little camel ride?
