Midelt
POP 47,000
Midelt sits in apple country between the Middle and the High Atlas and makes a handy
break between Fez and the desert. Coming from the north in particular, the landscape offers
some breathtaking views, especially of the eastern High Atlas, which seems to rise out of
nowhere.
Midelt consists of little more than one main street (Ave Mohammed V in the north,
which becomes Ave Hassan II to the south), a modest market (souq days are Sunday and
Wednesday) and a number of oversized restaurants, which cater to the tourist buses whist-
ling through on their way south. It makes a good base for some off-
piste
exploring of the
Jebel Ayachi region.
