Cèdre Gouraud Forest
غابة أرز كورو
A primeval Atlas cedar forest near Azrou where you can get close to endangered wild Barbary macaques.
The Gouraud Cedar Forest lies south of Azrou and is part of Middle Atlas National Park. It takes its name from a huge, dead Gouraud cedar. The forest is home to the endangered Barbary macaque, which often gathers near the parking area, allowing visitors to observe it up close. Do not feed the monkeys, as it can make them ill and lead to bites. Keep your food and bags secure. Admission is free. The forest is about 80 km from Fez and is usually combined with a day trip to Ifrane.
