About half an hour's drive away from Marrakech, it's a different world. Snow-covered mountain tops, blossoming valleys, foamy cascading mountain rivers and waterfalls, mud-brick villages clinging to mountainsides that seem impossible to reach (but we'll visit them!), suspension bridges. But the main thing is that a different group of people lives here. A group with its own culture, traditions, language and script. And the stories of this culture will surprise you.
In Ourika, you will want to get out of the car every few minutes to look around.
You can also try and bake your own bread, grind flour or whip fresh butter. You can try on national clothing, meet some wild and very peculiar monkeys, make your own clay pitcher, go for a camel ride, experience traditional beauty treatments and even learn about contemporary art.
One day in Ourika is like an entire travelling experience, it's full of emotions and impressions. There are so many wonders to see and so much to do. Come visit!

1Ourika Valley
We will stop by a beautiful park of modern sculptures and a nomadic market (available on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday). We will watch how local storytellers, barbers and charlatan doctors work. Or, instead of watching, we can even try it on ourselves :) We will reach a picturesque cascade of waterfalls. If we're lucky, we'll spot representatives of a very unusual species of the macaque monkey. On the way, we will see how the fine lace Alabaster carvings that decorate Morocco's palaces and mosques are created, we will try on national costumes and have a lavish photo session.

In the botanical garden, we can learn about native plants. Here, you can also have your hands painted with henna dye, bake bread the traditional way, take part in the production of Argan oil or visit a 'beauty salon'. Even at the age of eighty, the Ourika ladies look fantastic! Would you like a foot bath with an aromatic oil massage?! Even that is possible! Just let us know what you would like in advance. We will walk through a pottery village and visit the former home of a local sheikh. We'll try to guess the purpose of some of the buildings and objects (and it's not as easy as you may think). We're certain you'll find some of the technology to be genius! If you like, we can arrange for you to make your own jug on a potter's wheel. We will visit the watermill by the river. Even today, it still supplies flour to local residents. We'll figure out how a prosperous house works.
