Ifrane
Ifrane is one of the most beautiful places in Morocco, residing on the Atlas Mountain with a population of rougly 13,000 people. The current Moroccan king and his projects - like the university and huge new hotel - have had a large impact on the town. However, it cannot be considered a large town. The majority of the population are farmers, sheepherders, etc, and therefore live outside of the town borders.
