Ifran

Ifrane is a gorgeous resort town located at an altitude of 1,665 m. Its French establishment in 1929 is evident by the architecture, which looks even more beautiful covered in snow with its chalet-type summer homes in Alpine style surrounded by pine trees. Irfane is also home to the world-famous Al Akhawayn University: an English-language, American-curriculum, not-for-profit public university. Largely funded by the at-the-time King of Saudi Arabia, it was founded in 1995 to celebrate the Saudi King and the at-the-time Moroccan King, Fahd and Hassan II, respectively. The university offers typical American undergraduate and graduate courses and follows a common core based on the American liberal arts odel.
