Itinerario

1. The quickest, closest, and hence one of the most popular day trips from Marrakech is a one-day trip from Marrakech to Ourika Valley. From its humble beginnings in the Berber country, the river has trickled down the slopes of the Atlas Mountains, between the peak of Tlemcen and the plateau of Timeskar. The green landscapes of the valley, the lazy meandering torrent combined with the small Berber villages in red adobe clinging to the slopes will enchant you.

About Marrakech

Ai piedi dell'Atlante, Marrakech dalle mura rosse è famosa per la medina labirintica, la piazza vivace, i riad tranquilli e i giardini.

Jemaa el-Fna, la grande piazza al centro della medina, cambia carattere nel corso della giornata: dai venditori di succhi e dagli incantatori di serpenti del mattino alle bancarelle avvolte dal fumo e ai musicisti dopo il tramonto. Il minareto della moschea della Koutoubia si innalza vicino come simbolo della città, e i suq si estendono a nord in un dedalo di vicoli che vendono pelle, lanterne, tappeti e spezie.

Top-ranked sights in Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Tizi-n'Tichka Pass, Jemaa el-Fna (Djemaa el-Fna).
