Azilal Province, Province in the Atlas Mountains, Morocco.
Azilal Province is an administrative area in the Béni Mellal-Khénifra region that spans terrain ranging from river valleys to mountain slopes. The landscape shifts between lower valleys and higher elevated areas as you move through the province.
The area started as a trading hub for Amazigh communities before becoming an administrative center during French colonial rule. Its transformation into the current provincial structure reflects the administrative changes of that era.
The markets here bring together farmers and craftspeople who sell goods made and grown locally. These gathering places show how the community supports itself through trade and how villages stay connected to each other.
The provincial capital connects to major cities through a road network with regular transportation services between Azilal and neighboring areas. Exploring the region works best if you have your own transport or use the local bus connections.
Lake Bin El Ouidane sits within the province and serves as both a water reservoir for farming and a place for fishing. This reservoir has shaped local agriculture and now offers visitors a surprising water recreation spot in a mountain region.
