El Hajeb
Morocco
A mountain town in Morocco's Fès-Meknès region, El Hajeb sits at the edge of the Middle Atlas and is known for its abundant freshwater springs. Most residents descend from the Zayanes, a Berber people, giving the town a distinct cultural identity. A compact centre with cafés and restaurants makes it a practical stop on the road toward Azrou and Ifrane, with several UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider region.
