Midelt is a small town in the Middle Atlas roughly midway between Fes and Errachidia and makes a convenient place to break the journey. The view to the south of Midelt is dominated by Jebel Ayachi. The town itself is of little interest, though there is a market (Souk Jdid) where good quality Middle Atlas killims and carpets are sold. The only other point of interest is a Franciscan convent where the sisters teach local girls and women weaving, tapestry and embroidery.
