Complexe Touristique Tahla Garden

If you fancy heading out for a ramble under your own steam, it’ll take you half an hour or so to drive to the Tazekka National Park. Suggested hikes in the hills here (detailed on maps and info boards) range from gentle strolls of a kilometre or so through to a more challenging 17-kilometre route. Keep your eyes open for Barbary deer, wild pigs and bats as you explore. One of the park’s top spots is the Gouffre de Friouato – the largest cave system in north Africa is around an hour and a half’s drive from the site. Climb down a ladder to enter the main cavern or join a spelunking tour to crawl deeper into the caves and visit underground lakes. For urban wanderings and souk shopping the ancient city of Fes is around an hour away by car. Getting lost in the medina here is almost inevitable (it is the world’s largest car-free urban area, after all) but there’s much to see, buy and eat at every twist of the lane.
