    In Ouriki we saw except a lot of vegetables also fruits from the fertile valley.
    We enjoyed a lot to walk around at this part of the local market. It was nice to look, what's happened here. And of course we bought some of the delicious local fruit.

    Landscape Around Marrakesh: The Sahara Desert
  • Tip Rating:
  • Walking in the Sahara Desert is fun but be sure to have enough water and a guide! Don't travel alone and always wear a hat! The sun is shining very intensive and temperature may increase to 50°C.

    Landscape Around Marrakesh: A visit to the Atlas Mountains
  • Tip Rating:
  • A visit to the Atlas Mountains is a must for the visitors who can afford a few spare days. Otherwise, if you visit the city in the Winter time, take a carriage ride around the city walls. The view of the snow covered mountains from the as background to the red-brick walls and the palm trees is unforgettable and one of the images that best sumps up the essence of Marrakesh.

    Landscape Around Marrakesh: I hardly had any time when I...
  • Tip Rating:
  • I hardly had any time when I went, but if I did, I would have definitely looked into making an excursion into the nearby Atlas Mountains. In April when I went, there was still plenty of snow on the mountain tops. I saw posters advertising tours into the Mountains, but I would have explored the possibility of trekking thru a part of it.

    That shall be for another time.

    Landscape Around Marrakesh: Goat-trees
  • Tip Rating:
  • Driving out of town you come along such trees and, believe it or not, on the boughs of the tree are jumping goats. Amazing! This is because during the summer month it hardly rains in Morocco and gras doesn't grow. Leaves are the best alternative to the yellow strawy gras.!
