Kasbah Bab Ourika is a rammed-earth boutique hotel of 45 rooms on a hilltop in the Ourika Valley, about 45 minutes from Marrakech airport, hosting weddings and private parties with Atlas Mountain views and its own organic kitchen gardens. The venue can accommodate up to 150 guests for your wedding celebration.

The story

A rammed-earth kasbah in the Atlas foothills

Kasbah Bab Ourika opened in 2008 in the Ourika Valley, in the foothills of the High Atlas, roughly 45 minutes from Marrakech airport. The building follows Berber architecture and is made largely from pisé, or rammed earth, so its walls take on the colour of the hillside. It is run with environmental aims: solar energy supplies heating, and recycled grey water is used on the gardens.

The kasbah hosts weddings, birthdays and private parties. Its 45 rooms are split between the Kasbah, with its garden suites and a five-bedroom pool villa, and the Retreat, a newer part of the site on three levels with views across the valley and the mountains. There is also a quiet swimming pool, and camel treks can be arranged for guests.
