Casablanca – Friouato Cave reopened its doors to the public on July 27 after more than a decade of closure, welcoming visitors back to one of Morocco’s most remarkable underground natural attractions.
Located in Tazekka National Park, near the commune of Bab Boudir in Taza Province, the cave underwent extensive rehabilitation and safety upgrades before welcoming visitors once again.
The restoration project focused on making the site safer and more accessible for both tourists and locals.
One of the oldest caves discovered in North Africa
Friouato’s story dates back to 1930, when French speleologist Norbert Casteret explored and documented it, making it one of the earliest known caves discovered in North Africa.
Descending more than 270 meters underground, Friouato is among Morocco’s most remarkable natural attractions.
Beyond its impressive depth, the cave sits within a mountainous landscape known for its rich geological formations and biodiversity, offering visitors an experience that goes far beyond a simple sightseeing stop.
Just in time for summer
Its reopening couldn’t have come at a better time.
While some travelers head straight for the beach during summer, others prefer chasing cooler temperatures and unforgettable adventures beneath the surface.
Friouato Cave offers exactly that, combining nature, exploration, and a glimpse into one of Morocco’s most fascinating underground landscapes.
With its doors finally open again, the cave is set to reclaim its place among Morocco’s must-visit natural wonders, inviting a new generation of visitors to discover a site that remained out of reach for more than ten years.
