Atlas mountains day trip
Fes to Ifrane road trip – car rental Fes to Ifrane and Azrou
A Fes to Ifrane road trip is a beautiful escape to the fresh air of the Middle Atlas. With a rental car you can combine Ifrane, the cedar forests near Azrou and small mountain villages in one relaxed day. Many travellers choose car rental Fes to Ifrane rather than organised tours to keep control over the pace.
