Middle Atlas Mountain Day Trip From Fez
Discover Morocco’s Middle Atlas Mountains on a full-day trip from Fez that explores small towns and a rolling landscape of cedar forests and peaks. Soak up the European feel of Ifrane, sometimes called the ‘Switzerland of Morocco,’ then descend to the Berber market town of Azrou to find the monkeys that thrive in nearby groves of cedar trees. With pickup and drop-off at Fez hotels, this full-day Middle Atlas trip goes off the beaten path to find Morocco’s quieter, rural side.
