Frequently asked questions
How much is the Middle Atlas excursion from Fès?
1,000 DH per vehicle for the day, with a private driver.
Will we see the Barbary macaques?
The macaques live wild in the cedar forest near Azrou and are usually easy to spot, but as wild animals they can't be guaranteed.
Is it cold in Ifrane?
Ifrane is at about 1,650 m, so it's cooler than Fès and can see snow in winter — bring a warm layer.
