This small town lies in the high plains between the Middle Atlas and High Atlas mountain ranges and is often just a stopover to break up the long journey between Fes and the Sahara Desert. Famous for its apple crops, the town is surrounded by mountain views and gentle walks to stretch the legs between long journeys.
