Haut Atlas Oriental National Park

The national park spans 49,000 hectares across the eastern High Atlas mountains, featuring dense cedar forests, pine groves, and open steppes.

The area received national park designation in 2005, leading to enhanced protection measures for local wildlife including Barbary sheep and Cuvier's gazelles.

The region maintains strong connections to Berber communities who have developed agricultural practices adapted to the mountain environment over generations.

Visitors can access guided treks through the park from May to August, when weather conditions support outdoor activities and wildlife observation.

Twin lakes at the western section of the park create a natural habitat for 120 bird species, including greater cormorants and booted eagles.
