Ifrane is one of the most beautiful places in Morocco,
residing on the Atlas mountain with a population of
rougly 13,000 people.
The main language in Ifrane is Berber, but you can also residing on the Atlas mountain with a population of
rougly 13,000 people.
hear a great deal of Arabic and French. It is home to Al-
Akhawayn University, an American-style university
taught in English, French, and Arabic. Nearly all
university students will be able to converse fluently in
English, but most of the native residents can not.
The climate is mostly cold with a beautiful clement
summer, with a great deal of rain in the first few months
of the year. The people are overall very friendly.
Overall, there is very little reason to specifically visit
Ifrane if you're limited on time in Morocco. Unless you're
a student here or a member of the king's entourage
when he visits, there's not a huge amount to visit here- a
carved lion, some parks, funky roofs, lots of storks,
outdoorsy things, and a Sunday souq pretty much
summarize the town.

- grand taxis. Grand taxis arrive in Ifrane at the grand taxi station, which is temporarily located about 300m south-west of the marché. t
A ride to either town costs Dh 25, but can be more
expensive (Dh 30) on weekends, when half of Fez and
Meknes come there. If you find yourself to take a whole
taxi yourself, multiply the price by six places (i.e. Dh
150). At some times (very late/early, during strikes), you
may have to pay a good bit more. Grand taxis to Ifrane
also leave from the Fez airport, and are more expensive
than those leaving from the Fez grand taxi station (Dh
300.)

By bus
CTM. has an office at the east end of the marché and
busses are likely to stop / depart from there. CTM buses
are known to being cleaner and slightly quicker, but the
sometimes sketchy buses from other companies are
equally safe. They most likely depart from the new Gare
Routière. which is somewhere south-west from the
marché. These busses can be alot dirtier and a little
cheaper. Some might have more stops (longer trip), but
they also leaving more often and are thus easier to
catch.
There is no train station in Ifrane]
Get around
Most places are within walking distance, but petit taxis
are also readily available. The minimum fare is Dh 5 for
small distances (e.g. marché → centre ville), longer
distances will be 10Dh. Grand taxi drivers are a little
more unscrupulous, so try to be aware of how much you
*should be paying for any given trip
