Accommodation
On the shores of tranquil Aguelmame Sidi Ali (Lake Sidi Ali in Berber), the Atlas Lake Inn basks in the stunning scenery surrounding it—the refreshing lake framed by the forested Middle Atlas mountains. This family owned and operated inn features spacious twin-bedded rooms* with parking and camping areas available for recreation vehicles. Cosy fireplaces, a welcoming sitting area, en suite bathrooms, free WIFI internet, and attractive views—the rooms have all the comforts of home. The inn also features a terrace, a restaurant, The Herbs of the Atlas which specializes in hardy yet delicious local Moroccan Berber cuisine, a tea room in a nomad tent, and a spacious sunny terrace overlooking the lake.
For those who wish to combine both the enjoyment of mountain and lake living, Atlas Lake Inn is ideal for all outdoor activities: hiking, sports fishing, rock climbing, nature trails, biological or ecological exploration, birdwatching, camping, mountain biking, swimming, or sunbathing on our chaise lounges.
In the heart of the ancient cedar forests of Middle Atlas Mountains, Aguelmame Sidi Ali lies 2100 meters above sea level in the Midelt province. The inn provides a perfect base for athletes and sports associations in training, yet for others it is situated close to some of Morocco’s main tourist attractions:
• 54 km south of the city of Azrou, the cedar forests, home to Morocco’s Barbary apes
• 70 km from Ifrane, a Swiss-styled village and ski resort
• 130 km from both Fez and Meknes, Imperial Cities whose medinas are classified as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
• 30 km from the Amengouss River gorges
• 40 km from Mischliffen, a ski resort, and from the Fellat River waterfalls
• 60 KM from the pristine “Lakes ” district
• 80 KM from the scenic tour near Jaâfar
