Aïn Attig is an almost secret thermal spring at 1,600 metres altitude in the Middle Atlas foothills of the Béni Mellal-Khénifra region of Morocco, where bicarbonate water emerges at around 38°C from limestone fissures in a landscape of cedar forests, rocky pastures and Berber transhumance routes. The spring is used principally by local Amazigh communities and occasional Moroccan visitors seeking a genuinely traditional hammam experience far from the commercialised thermal facilities of the major cities. The surrounding Middle Atlas, with its ancient cedar forests inhabited by Barbary macaques, Roman ruins and Berber villages, is one of Morocco's most beautiful and least touristed mountain landscapes. Aïn Attig offers an encounter with Moroccan thermal culture in its most authentic and elemental form, rooted in Amazigh tradition rather than international spa aesthetics.
