Immerse yourself in the rich cultural history and beauty of this fascinating region.

Morning :

Start your day by embracing the stunning beauty and fresh air of the Middle Atlas region on this full-day excursion from Fez. Situated at an altitude of 1350 meters, the journey takes you deep into the heart of the Atlas Mountains, where the cool mountain breeze greets you.

Lunch :

The adventure continues with a visit to Azrou, a charming Berber village perched at 1250 meters. This village is rich in history, as it is home to traditional Berber tribal houses, the original inhabitants of Morocco. Watch as the local Berber men tend to their flocks, grind flour, and practice their crafts, such as tapestry weaving and carpentry. If you wish, we will stop by a women-run cooperative where they weave beautiful Berber carpets, giving you the chance to uncover the secrets behind these intricate works of art.

Afternoon :

Further along, you will visit Morocco’s best-preserved cedar forest, a breathtaking place where you may spot Barbary monkeys playfully jumping through the trees. Feel free to feed them peanuts and take some memorable photos. As you walk along the forest trail, keep an eye out for other wildlife, like the elusive Atlas grey wolf or wild boar.

Final Stops :

Pause for a delicious traditional Moroccan *Tajine* at a local restaurant. After lunch, we’ll journey onward to explore the picturesque town of Ifran, also known as “Little Switzerland.” Stroll through its flower-lined avenues, and marvel at the charming French colonial architecture that makes this small town a unique spot in Morocco.
