The Middle Atlas covers 23 000 km² in area, and comprises 18% of the total mountaineous surface of Morocco. The cities of Khenifra, Ifrane, Boulmane, Sefrou, El Hajeb as well as parts of the provinces of Taza and Beni Mellal lie in the Middle Atlas region, whereas Beni Mellal on the Oum Er-Rbia River is designated as the doorway to the Middle Atlas.

The Middle Atlas is a solid mountainous mass of 350 kilometres in length in the north-east of Morocco with a unique charm. Its wealth of biodiversity, both in fauna and flora, makes the Middle Atlas a popular tourist destination. Its geo-mophologic structure is comprised of limestone, tabled rock in the west, folded rock in the north-east, and volcanic plateauxs.
