Are you looking for a villa rental in Marrakech on the Route de l'Ourika<\/a><\/em><\/strong> ? This area south of the city is particularly popular with travellers who want plenty of space, a garden, a private pool and a more peaceful setting than central Marrakech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Route de l'Ourika in Marrakech?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Simple definition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Route de l\\u{2019}Ourika is a road that leaves Marrakech heading south-east towards the foothills of the Atlas. It gradually crosses the Haouz plain, known in particular for its agricultural landscapes, olive groves and mountain views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It isn't a compact neighbourhood with clearly defined boundaries. Addresses are often given by a kilometre marker<\/strong>, such as \\u{201c}km 10\\u{201d} or \\u{201c}km 15\\u{201d}. Two villas both advertised as being on the Route de l\\u{2019}Ourika can therefore have very different journey times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the difference between the Route de l'Ourika and the Ourika Valley?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Route de l'Ourika starts in Marrakech <\/a><\/em><\/strong>and serves residential areas, private estates, hotels and holiday villas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ourika Valley lies further on, at the foot of the Atlas. Marrakech's official guide places it around 45 kilometres from the city and describes it as a region of waterfalls, villages and mountain scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A villa \\u{201c}on the Route de l\\u{2019}Ourika\\u{201d} is therefore not necessarily located in the valley. Always check the exact position on a map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
