Beni Mellal-Khénifra Region

Béni Mellal-Khénifra: The Essential Journey

Béni Mellal-Khénifra encompasses the rugged landscapes of the Middle and High Atlas mountains. The region is defined by the 110-meter-high Ouzoud Falls and the expansive Bin el Ouidane arch dam. Cultural landmarks include the 13th-century religious center of Zaouia Ahansal and traditional fortified granaries like Tighramt N’ Ait Hassou. The area offers diverse terrain ranging from the cedar forests surrounding Lac Ouiouane to the high-altitude Tarkeddite plateau, a primary base for ascending Mount M'Goun.
