We had originally booked our third and final hotel in The Atlas Mountains. Sadly the area was badly hit by the earthquake and the hotel is under repair for 6-12 months. As an alternative, we booked a hotel outside Marrakesh within an hour or two drive to the Atlas Mountains. From here, we arranged two day trips to trek in two valleys – Imlil Valley and Ourika Valley. In the former we saw extensive earthquaque damage with roads, houses and hotels under repair; although the Ourika area was also damaged, it was less extensive. Both areas derive a significant part of their income from tourism – some tourists have returned but numbers are much lower.
