The Middle Atlas is part of the Atlas mountain range. Its peaks aren't of the same height as the High Atlas and its valleys aren't as secluded. The Middle Atlas is known for its cedar forests and Barbary macaques. To the north of the Middle Atlas lies a vast plain. Morocco has been ruled from this plain for quite some time, first from the roman city of Volubilis, later from Fez, founded in the 8th century as their capital by the Arab Idrissid dynasty and in the 17th century from Meknes, which was also founded as a capital.
