Nature & Wildlife

The Souss-Massa National Park south of Agadir shelters bald ibis — one of the world's rarest birds. Merja Zerga lagoon in the Atlantic coast hosts 200+ bird species including flamingos. Azrou's cedar forest is home to the only free-roaming Barbary macaques in Morocco — the last population outside Gibraltar. Toubkal National Park above Marrakech encompasses 380km² of mountain wilderness. The Iriqui National Park in the pre-Saharan south is home to Dorcas gazelles. And Morocco's Atlantic argan forest — a UNESCO biosphere reserve covering 2.5 million hectares — is found nowhere else on Earth.
