Parc Nouzha Bouhyati

Tazekka National Park


This is a pleasant spot to picnic or have a barbecue in a designated fireplace. There's a children's play area too. The cabin sells tea, cold drinks, sweets and biscuits. During the summer, there are full meals (tajines Dh80), but if you're here out of season, phone a day ahead to order.
