Lovely walk in the woods
Ifrane, altitude 1,650 meters, was built by the French in 1929 as a a summer and winter resort for residents in Fès and Meknès.  It is cool in summer and a ski center in the winter.  The late King Hassan II had a summer palace here.  In the early 1900s a private university was started, Al Akhawayn (The Brothers), with a strong American slant and a number of American teachers.  It is expensive with the majority of Moroccan students from Casablanca.  Currently there are about 500 students
