One of the most beautiful places you can visit in Morocco, and unlike the usual, the Ourika region is generally beautiful in its simplicity and not in its luxury. The welcome from its residents makes Ourika warm despite the relatively cold weather due to its height among the high Atlas Mountains. Berber villages are preserving their Amazigh traditions and heritage which date back to before the sixteenth century and even before the Islamic conquest of Morocco, where the ancient inhabitants of the region lived with the first Jewish heritage during the first centuries AD.
Admire a visit to a real Berber house.
