The river running through the forest of Ain Chkef is the centre of a small but important part of the Fez food chain - carrot washing!

From a tourist perspective, the Forêt d'Ain Chkef - the forest of Ain Chkef - is probably one of the least visited attractions of Fez. This forest is located in the south of the city.
With beautiful enormous trees and greenery, it is a peaceful space to walk or run in—especially in the mornings when the air is cooler. This forest is famous among locals, which means it would be best to go on weekdays when it’s less crowded.
