Azrou
Azrou is where the landscape turns from Morocco to something that almost looks alpine — tall cedars, cool air, and monkeys in the forest by the road.
What stands out
Why this place stays with people
- Cedar forest walks
- Barbary macaques

Best time to go
Spring through autumn. Winter can be snowy — beautiful, but the roads need care.
From the driver's seat
It sits on the road between Fes and the south, so it's a natural break on that drive.
