The Ourika Valley in the High Atlas starts under 1 hour's drive south east of Marrakech, and offers a pretty escape from the summer heat of the city. Near the head of the valley, surrounded by the peaks of the High Atlas, is Setti-Fatma, a village which has been largely rebuilt after being subject to severe flooding in 1995. The village is a relatively quiet, typical Berber village, well worth a wander around if time permits.
