Insider tip — Ain Salama emerges in the cedar-forested Middle Atlas highlands near Ifrane, Morocco's alpine town known as the African Switzerland for its Swiss-chalet architecture and cool climate. The bicarbonate spring feeds into a setting unlike any other Moroccan thermal site — at 1,650 m elevation surrounded by Atlas cedars where Barbary macaques roam freely. The spring is cooler than lowland hammam waters, making it genuinely refreshing in summer when the highlands provide respite from Moroccan heat.
