Zalagh Mountain, just above Fez, can be seen from most terraces in the Medina. Hiking to the top is a great escape from the city, only 30 minutes away. Starting from Oued Zhoune, the road climbs through old olive groves and soon takes you into the peaceful Berber countryside. You'll pass by small farms where locals use mules and gather water from wells. The rocky trails lead to the summit, offering stunning views of Fez, the Sebou Valley, and the Rif Mountains.
The hike is suitable for all levels and provides a welcome break from the heat, with cool mountain air and shaded spots perfect for a picnic. Despite its proximity to the city, it remains quiet and uncrowded, making it an ideal spot for hikers and mountain bikers seeking solitude and breathtaking views.
