Oukaimeden
A ski resort in the desert! Indeed, thick snow envelops the
Jebal Oukaimeden mountain peak during the winter months (usually
January and February), just a 46-mile (74km) drive from Marrakech.
The town of Oukaimeden, which can be reached by taxi or self-drive
car, is well equipped for the skiers that seek restaurants, ski
equipment to rent, and comfortable hotels, set in lush greenery
backed by blue mountains. Skiers can ascend the mountain by donkey
or camel, but there are also modern ski lifts.
Information & Facts
Language
Arabic is the official language, but eight other
languages are also spoken including Berber, French and Spanish.
English is generally understood in the tourist areas, but French is
the most widely spoken.
Money
The unit of currency is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD), which is
divided into 100 centimes. ATMs are available in the larger towns,
but can be unreliable; currency can be exchanged at banks or
official bureaux de changes, which are also widespread in major
towns. Dirhams cannot be obtained or exchanged outside Morocco and
receipts must be retained as proof of legal currency exchange, as
well as in order to re-exchange money when departing. Major credit
cards are accepted in the larger shops, hotels and restaurants.
Travellers cheques can be used in tourist areas, but are not
prevalent; they are best taken in Euros or Pounds Stirling.
