Nestled at the foot of the Middle Atlas Mountains, Beni Mellal offers a captivating blend of history and natural beauty. Founded in the 17th century, the city is home to the 16th-century Kasbah of Ras el Ain, which commands stunning views of the surrounding countryside and overlooks Ain Asserdoun – a natural freshwater spring cascading from its hillside source and meandering through the verdant terraced parklands.
