      From Meknes To The Middle Atlas Mountains

      After picking you up in the morning at your accommodations in Meknes, we will start our drive towards the Middle Atlas region.

      Our drive will first take us through the Sais plateau, Fezโ€™s bountiful agricultural region full of olive grove, wheat fields, and fruit trees.

      As we continue on, we will begin to see the first foothills of the Middle Atlas Mountains.

      Our first stop will be in the provincial town of Imouzer, which is famous for its Apple Festival in September.

      Many of the inhabitants of Imouzer are of Amazigh descent and speak a language different than Arabic as their mother tongue.

      The area around Imouzer is dotted with lakes that were carved out during a period of intense volcanic activity in the distant past.

      Stopping at one of these lakes, Dayet Aoua, you will have the opportunity to go for a quick horse or donkey ride on the lakeshore.

      Climbing higher up and passing through oak forests, the next stop on our drive will be in the famed โ€˜Switzerland of Moroccoโ€™, the town of Ifrane.

      Thanks to its alpine climate, at 1,665m above sea level, Ifrane canโ€™t escape getting large quantities of snow every winter.

      As such, the roofs of its houses and businesses are sloped so not to be crushed under the weight of snow, earning Ifrane the cute nickname the โ€˜Switzerland of Moroccoโ€™.

      During the summer, though, the temperature rises and Moroccanโ€™s flock to Ifrane for its tidy parks, clean air, and beautiful scenery.

      Ifrane is also famous for the world renowned Al-Akhawayn University, which attracts the best and brightest of Morocco each year.

      We will also make a stop at the Ifrane National Park to admire the ancient cedar trees and try our luck at finding a colony of Barbary apes. In Ifrane, we will go to a great local restaurant for lunch.

      Driving just a little further, our last stop of the day will be in the town of Azrou, the ancient capital of the Amazigh people in the Middle Atlas region.

      Situated at 1,250m above sea level, Azrou finds itself nestled cozily in the surrounding hills of the Middle Atlas Mountains.

      Famous for its cedar forests, butterflies, and Barbary ape population, Azrou is a perfect place to get back to nature.

      During our time in Azrou, we will visit the old town center with the possibility of also taking a walk in the abundant nature.

      Once finishing our tour of Azrou, we will head directly back to your accommodations in Meknes.
