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.

Early accounts from 19th century explorers like Henry Morton Stanley and fiction writers like Joseph Conrad depicted Africa as uncivilised, mysterious and barbaric, reflecting the racist attitudes that underpinned European empire building.
