Fès-méknas-boulmane, Administrative region in northern Morocco.
Fès-Meknès-Boulmane was an administrative region in northern Morocco with varied landscapes. The area included both flat agricultural plains and mountainous terrain near the Rif range.
This administrative region was established in 1997 and operated until 2015 as part of Morocco's governance structure. It then merged with neighboring territories during a national administrative restructuring.
The area contained multiple provinces, each with its own local traditions and ways of life that visitors can still observe in towns and villages. These distinct communities maintained their own customs and cultural practices across the broader territory.
The region had road connections linking its main cities like Fès and Meknès to surrounding communities and smaller towns. These routes made it relatively easy to travel between different areas and explore various parts of the territory.
Missour, the capital of Boulemane Province, sits where pre-Saharan landscapes begin and northern Moroccan cultures meet desert traditions. This location marks a visible boundary between two very different geographical and cultural zones.
