Discover the natural beauty of Morocco's Middle Atlas region on this Middle Atlas Mountains Tour from Fes with iMoroccan Tours. Visit cedar forests, mountain towns, and Berber villages while enjoying fresh mountain air and spectacular landscapes — a refreshing change of pace from the busy streets of Fes.
Depart Fes and drive into the Middle Atlas Mountains, arriving in Ifrane — often called "Little Switzerland" for its alpine-style architecture, red-roofed chalets, and immaculate gardens. Continue to Azrou, home to an impressive cedar forest where you can walk among centuries-old trees and, with luck, spot wild Barbary macaques. Visit a local Berber village and market to learn about traditional mountain life, enjoying scenic stops along the way before returning to Fes in the late afternoon.
