A village in the Ourika Valley, Morocco

Postcard

“When the heat in Marrakesh becomes unbearable, many Moroccans and tourists run to the cool and green Ourika Valley. Located in the High Atlas Mountains, only 45 minutes away from Marrakesh, the valley stretches along a vast area from Souk Tnin Ourika to the Berber village of Setti Fatma. The valley is known for its pine and cedar forests. Don’t be surprised if you see some resident friendly Barbary apes on your way.”
