Today, is a traveling day, with several special stops along the way! We kick off our adventure early, winding through the scenic mid-Atlas Mountains. Our first stop is Ifrane, often called the “Switzerland of Morocco” due to its adorably charming alpine architecture and manicured gardens. It's the perfect place to stretch our legs, snap some memorable photos, and enjoy the fresh, crisp mountain air.
Next, we venture into the enchanting cedar forests of Azrou. Here, we’ll have the exciting opportunity to see Barbary macaque monkeys in their natural habitat. These playful creatures amidst the towering cedar trees offer a unique wildlife experience and a refreshing break from our travels. Don’t forget your camera—this is a moment you'll want to capture!
After our forest adventure, we’ll stop for a delightful lunch in Midelt, a town renowned for its lush apple orchards. We’ll savor local cuisine and enjoy stunning mountain views, making it a wonderful spot to relax, chat with fellow travelers, and maybe even taste some of the region’s famous apples.
In the afternoon, we drive through the breathtaking Ziz Valley, known for its expansive date palm groves. The landscape here is truly spectacular, with palm trees stretching endlessly against the backdrop of the arid desert. Our journey concludes in Erfoud, a charming town on the edge of the desert, famous for its fossils and beautiful markets.
This day promises a perfect blend of diverse landscapes, unique wildlife, and great memories!
