The Lake of Oukaïmeden

During your stay in Marrakech, consider renting a car to visit the area. Go for example to the south, admire the mountain landscapes of Morocco and why not, the fairytale landscapes offered by the mesmerizing lake Oukaïmeden.

Oukaïmeden is the main ski resort of Morocco. Housed in the mountains of a country known for its arid landscapes, the city of Oukaïmeden is proof of the natural diversity of Morocco. And it is there, in the heights, that is also one of the most beautiful landscapes of the kingdom: the lake of Oukaïmeden.

To appreciate the beauty of Lake Oukaïmeden, there is nothing better than to go there in winter. The still water of the lake reflects the blue of the sky and thus contrasts with the surrounding mountains. These sport a mixture of brown (rocks) and white (snow). The place is relaxing and fairytale. If you wish, you can even ski at the ski resort of Oukaïmeden.

In summer, the place is much less crowded, which makes it even more relaxing. The snow is obviously not rained but the landscapes remain breathtaking. In addition, it takes only an hour and forty minutes to drive from the center of Marrakech.

The little advice Dollar Maroc: rent an SUV  to go to lake Oukaïmeden from Marrakech.
