“The Kasbah Bab Ourika stands in exceptionally beautiful landscape in the atlas mountains, only 35 minutes from marrakech s international airport. On its hilltop, at the apex of the ourika valley, it looks down to the river, green fields and groves of olives, oranges and lemons, and up to the dazzling snowy mountain peaks

With 360 degree panoramic views, kasbah bab ourika receives warm sunlight all day ending in spectacular sunsets. Guests can relax in individually decorated rooms with their own terraces or unwind by the secluded swimming pool. Above all, the kasbah offers peace and relaxation in spectacular surroundings. A memorable escape from the hustle of the western world.”
