Située à 1 521 m d'altitude dans l'Atlas, Midelt possède un climat méditerranéen favorable à la culture de la pomme
Il suffit d’évoquer le nom de cette ville nichée à la jonction des chaînes du Moyen Atlas et du Haut Atlas pour penser illico presto à la pomme. Un fruit qui s’est vu gratifier par l’organisation de tout un Salon national mettant à l’honneur la pomiculture mais aussi la culture, les paysages naturels et les coutumes et us de la région.
A la faveur d’un climat adéquat, des traditions agricoles bien ancrées, des ressources hydriques importantes et des températures assurant la vernalisation de la pomme, la province de Midelt trône avec fierté sur cette filière des rosacées à pépins avec une production record qui lui confère sans conteste le label de la « Capitale de la pomme ».
Avec plus de la moitié de la production nationale et 90% de celle de la région de Drâa-Tafilalet, Midelt abrite le Salon National de la Pomme .

Located at an altitude of 1,521 m in the Atlas Mountains, Midelt boasts a Mediterranean climate conducive to apple growing.
Just mention the name of this town nestled at the junction of the Middle Atlas and High Atlas mountain ranges to immediately think of apples. A fruit that has been honored with the organization of an entire national fair showcasing apple growing, as well as the culture, natural landscapes, and customs and traditions of the region.
Thanks to a suitable climate, deep-rooted agricultural traditions, significant water resources, and temperatures that ensure the vernalization of apples, the province of Midelt proudly reigns supreme in this sector of pome-bearing rosaceae, with a record production that undoubtedly earns it the label of "Apple Capital." With more than half of the national production and 90% of that of the Drâa-Tafilalet region, Midelt is home to the National Apple Show.
