About the Activity

What to Expect

Embark on a captivating day trip from Fez to the Middle Atlas, where you will explore the charming town of Ifrane and immerse yourself in the enchanting Monkey Forest. Your adventure begins with a pickup in Fez, where you will be greeted and transported in a comfortable vehicle. As you leave the city behind, the first stop is Immouzer, a resort town renowned for Morocco’s largest water sources and rich Berber culture. Here, you will have approximately 30 minutes to explore the area, take in the natural beauty, and capture some memorable photos.

Next, you will head to the picturesque town of Ifrane, often called "Little Switzerland" due to its alpine-style architecture and scenic landscapes. This stop will last around 1 hour, giving you ample time to stroll through the town, admire the unique buildings, and enjoy the serene atmosphere. The final destination is Azrou, an ancient Berber city home to Africa’s largest cedar forest. In Azrou, you will spend about 1 hour exploring the lush forest and observing the playful Barbary monkeys in their natural habitat.
