点评:I have been fortunate enough to have visited Ourika Valley a few times. It is only a relatively short distance from Marrakech and provides a wonderful snap shot of the Atlas Mountains.
Ourika is split into three areas, lower, middle and upper. Although they are not known by these names the upper part of the Ourika Valley is where you will find the waterfalls and the lower part the river, where you can sit alongside it and enjoy food or Moroccan tea.
There is no doubt about it that this area is commercialised. My favourite visits have been when it was quiet. At a weekend or during holiday times it becomes uncomfortably packed out with people and the experience is entirely different and rather unpleasant.
The walk to the waterfall isn’t particularly easy. There are all sorts of trip hazards along the way and there is some real clambering to be done. Suitable footwear helps.
The first waterfall is beautiful and if you’re lucky enough not to be sharing it with many others, it provides some great photo opportunities. If you want to keep walking and climbing you can then locate the other waterfalls.
All along the walkways are places to stop and eat and drink. The food is good and very well priced. There are also fresh fruit stalls and games to play. The place really does have a very friendly, family type vibe.
My advice is not to pay over the odds for an organised tour or for a guide. You don’t need a guide for this area. You can’t get lost and people will help you. All the people are happy to help, in fact they love to help.
My advice would be to catch a grand taxi from Marrakech or if you’re feeling really brave the ‘small bus’. Both these options are excellent value for money. The taxi is more comfortable and gets there quicker but the bus ride is an experience. It takes longer because of the type of vehicle and it has stop offs and pick ups along the way.
The price for the small bus would be around 15- 20 dirham and the grand taxi around 150 dirham. Both options will drop you exactly where you want to be. When it comes to returning to Marrakech you’ll find Grand Taxis going back and people will help you with where the bus goes from.
I think a trip to Ourika is worthwhile. If you can step away from the hustle and bustle of the town, you’ll find much quieter areas and get to meet some of the happy, very friendly and hospitable Berber people.
A trip into the mountains can be a great
alternative to Marrakech. The clean mountain air is a delight on a hot day and it need not cost you a fortune.

Ourika 山谷分为三个区域,下部、中部和上部。虽然它们没有以这些名字为人所知,但 Ourika 山谷的上部有瀑布,下部有河流,您可以坐在河边享用美食或摩洛哥茶。
毫无疑问,这个地区已经商业化了。我最喜欢在安静的时候去。在周末或假期期间,这里会挤满人,让人感到不舒服,体验完全不同,而且相当不愉快。
步行到瀑布并不容易。沿途有各种绊倒危险,需要攀爬。合适的鞋子会有所帮助。
第一个瀑布很美,如果你足够幸运,没有和很多人一起,它提供了一些很棒的拍照机会。如果你想继续步行和攀爬,那么你可以找到其他瀑布。
沿路都是可以停下来吃喝的地方。食物很好,价格也很合理。还有新鲜水果摊和游戏可以玩。这个地方确实有一种非常友好、家庭式的氛围。
我的建议是不要为有组织的旅行或导游支付过高的费用。你不需要这个地区的导游。你不会迷路,人们会帮助你。所有人都很乐意提供帮助,事实上他们喜欢帮助别人。
我的建议是从马拉喀什乘坐大型出租车,或者如果你真的很勇敢,可以乘坐“小巴士”。这两种选择都物有所值。出租车更舒适,到达目的地更快,但乘坐巴士是一种体验。由于车辆类型的原因,它需要更长的时间,沿途有停靠和接送。
小巴士的价格约为 15-20 迪拉姆,大型出租车约为 150 迪拉姆。这两种选择都会把你送到你想去的地方。当您返回马拉喀什时,您会发现 Grand Taxis 会返回,人们会帮助您了解巴士从哪里出发。
我认为去 Ourika 一趟是值得的。如果您能远离城市的喧嚣,您会发现更安静的地方,并会遇到一些快乐、非常友好和好客的柏柏尔人。
去山里旅行是马拉喀什的绝佳替代品。在炎热的天气里,清新的山间空气令人愉悦,而且不需要花很多钱。
