Djebel Tazzeka National Park
The Djebel Tazzeka national park has forests of cork-oaks and cedars, tall ferns, springs, waterfalls and lakes. A climb to its summit (1,980m) is well rewarded by a stunning view over the wooded mountains of Tazzeka and the snow-bound peaks of the Middle Atlas.
Friouato
The Friouato caverns reach to a depth of 180m. A staircase leads down into a veritable underground palace. Halls and galleries seem haunted by other-worldly forms-the stalactites and stalagmites reaching out into the void in a fairyland of mineral sculpture.
