Ifrane Cedar Forest
The cedar forest of the Middle Atlas is one of the largest in the world — ancient Atlas cedars, some of them over 800 years old, spread across the plateau around Ifrane and Azrou. The forest is home to the largest population of Barbary macaques outside captivity. The trees themselves are extraordinary: gnarled, enormous, fragrant with resin.
