Day Trip to Ourika Valley
Day Trip Overview
The Atlas Mountains are the longest mountain chain in Africa, snaking 2,400 kilometers through Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. Spanning from the coast to the desert, the range is home to the highest peak in North Africa, Jbel Toubkal, which stands at an impressive 13,671 feet. Its neighbor, M’Goun, reaches 13,356 feet. The mountain range is divided into three main ranges—the Middle, High, and Anti-Atlas—all of which offer unique and breathtaking scenery. The majestic rock formations, tranquil valleys and rivers, and untouched Berber villages of the Atlas make it a perfect destination for a rejuvenating and soul-refreshing getaway.
