Camping Menzah Bellota is an eco-center for solidarity tourism near Ouezzane, surrounded by cork oak forests and aromatic plants. Since 2013, Abdelghani and Siham Lakhdar have been welcoming guests to this oasis of tranquility. Travelers experience sustainable tourism, authentic Moroccan cuisine, and encounters with the local community. The stay also supports environmental projects and regional cooperatives. It's a place to discover nature, culture, and hospitality in the heart of the Rif Mountains.

In 1998, Abdelghani Lakhdar returned to his hometown of Douar Bellota after completing his studies, with the desire to connect nature and community. This idea gave rise to Menzah Bellota in 2013. Initially a small eco-campsite, it is now a recognized center for sustainable tourism. It preserves traditions, creates opportunities for the region, and invites visitors to live in harmony with nature.

We signed up for the evening tagine menu immediately upon arrival. In the meantime, we browsed the small shop on the premises, which sells regionally produced products (oil, jams, honey, olives, etc.).

Tagine is one of Morocco's most famous dishes. It is slowly braised in a special clay pot with a pointed lid, which makes the meat, vegetables, spices, and fruit particularly tender and aromatic. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is typical of Moroccan cuisine and we really enjoyed it. Enjoy!

On your way between Ouezzane and Chefchaouen, it's a great idea to stop by Balouta Park. A quiet and relaxing place, ideal for a break amidst nature. Oak trees provide shade and fresh air, making it an ideal stop to rejuvenate before continuing your journey. A simple yet authentic experience that gives you a moment of serenity amidst the mountains and green roads.
