A town on the northern bank of the Ourika River in Morocco's Al Haouz Province, Ait Ourir sits a short drive east of Marrakesh and close to the Atlas Mountains, making it a practical base for exploring the surrounding mountain terrain. The wider region holds several UNESCO World Heritage sites. The town itself is a working Moroccan settlement rather than a tourist destination, with limited visitor infrastructure.
