OURIKA VALLEY
Cool Waters and Clay Walls
Beyond the red walls of Marrakech, the land softens into a corridor of water and light. The Ourika River threads between gardens and stone terraces, its banks dotted with clay houses the color of the hills themselves. Even in summer, the air stays cool, carrying the scent of mint and wet earth. This is the quiet frontier of the High Atlas — a place of still water, small orchards, and the faint, unhurried rhythm of life returning to itself.
