Few travelers know that one of Morocco's greenest landscapes lies just outside the town of Taza.
Tazekka National Park protects forests of cedar, holm oak, and cork oak spread across the slopes of the Middle Atlas. In spring, the hills are covered with wildflowers, and streams run through shaded valleys.
Caves Beneath the Mountains
The park is also famous for what lies underground.
The Friouato cave, one of the deepest in North Africa, opens into a vast chamber that descends deep into the mountain. Hundreds of steps lead visitors into a world of stone, shadows, and silence.
A Refuge of Nature
From the summit of Jbel Tazekka, the views stretch across forests and valleys toward the Rif.
Walking trails, small villages, and cool mountain air make Tazekka a perfect escape for travelers looking for nature away from the crowds.
