Khemisset Province: Springs, Forests and Regional Culture

Khemisset Province offers a range of perspectives for a trip: hot springs, oak forests, apple orchards and a distinct rural character sit alongside olive oil and handicrafts. The themes range from bathing and nature experiences to agriculture and regional products. When planning your stay, you can decide which type of landscape, activity or local product interests you most.

Aïn Lalla Haya: Bathing and Scenery

The Aïn Lalla Haya spring attracts local and national visitors because of the picturesque scenery surrounding it. Visitors bathe in the spring’s hot, natural, carbonated waters. Scenery and bathing come together here in one specific place. If you are weighing a natural setting against an activity in the water, Aïn Lalla Haya offers a different focus from the oak forests: bathing takes center stage here, while the forests are a place for hiking and spending time outdoors.

Oulmès and the Nature of the Province

Oulmès forms a transition zone between the Khémisset–Rommani depression and the Middle Atlas. The town is also known for its apple orchards, set in a green landscape. Across the province, oak forests invite visitors to hike, enjoy ecotourism and take part in outdoor activities. Thus, the apple orchards offer a scenic attraction in Oulmès, while the forests have an explicitly activity-focused connection with nature.

Agriculture Around Rommani

Rommani lies on the Zaers Plateau and is known for extensive grain cultivation and livestock farming. These agricultural activities carry on traditional expertise. Grain and livestock farming together shape the area’s agricultural character. If you want to explore the province beyond its forests and waters, this focus offers another perspective on its rural character.

Olive Oil and Handicrafts

Khémisset olive oil can be sampled for its fruity aroma and taken home in a bottle; it also represents traditional craftsmanship. The Oulmès Craft Center is associated with rural carpets, Hanbal, traditional clothing and products made from thuja wood. The two themes offer different points of entry: aroma and tasting take center stage with the oil, while the center is connected with specific handicraft products.

Lac Dayet Roumi: Activities on the Water

A description dated April 1, 2026, associates Lac Dayet Roumi with light, sustainable water sports such as kayaking, rowing boats and jet skiing, as well as fishing. The specific offerings may change; check which activities are available before visiting. The lake’s focus on water sets it apart from the province’s oak forests, which invite visitors to hike and enjoy ecotourism.

Regional Overview

The Khémisset–Meknès highway is also part of the regional picture: it opened in November 1998 and is 50 km long.
