It sits sixty five kilometres from the red city in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains.

The region is without a doubt the perfect destination for people who seek Moroccan adventure, discovery, relaxation and meditation.
The Ourika River weaves through the valley, which begins in the High Atlas Mountains and runs down towards Marrakech. The Valley is much more than a tourist location since it houses a number of plant species and the rare Barbary Macaques.
