Azrou is a city in north-central Morocco is located at the foot of High Atlas Mountains and just across the river from the historic city of Fes. It is one of the most important green areas in Morocco and owes its name to the abundance of its forests: "azrou" means woods in Moroccan Arabic. The sources of both Oued Nfis and Oued El Gzoul (or Zahra) are located on the territory of Azrou. [ source: Wikipedia ]
