The day trip to the Middle Atlas was a truly unforgettable experience. The cedar forest was simply breathtaking, with its towering trees and peaceful ambiance. Walking through the forest trails was a soothing and refreshing experience. Azrou, a town nestled in the mountains, had a distinct charm. The local market was a sensory delight, filled with vibrant colors and aromatic spices. The friendly shopkeepers were eager to share stories and traditions of the region. Ifran, with its distinct European architecture, added a touch of elegance to the trip. The city’s well-maintained gardens and clean streets were a testament to the Moroccan attention to detail.
