Atlas Mountains
Traditionally considered to be Berber territory, the Atlas Mountains provide 1,500 miles of breathtaking scenery between the coast and the Sahara Desert. They are geographically split into ranges called the Mid Atlas, the High Atlas and the Anti Atlas.
The High Atlas is dominated by Mount Toubkal, North Africa's highest peak at over 13,665 ft (4,165m). Both the High and Middle Atlas slopes have dense forests containing cedar, pine, cork and oak trees and there are fertile valleys and tracts of pasture where livestock can feed. The Anti Atlas range, situated furthest south, is much less developed for tourism and, although less dramatic in the size of its peaks, it does offer unique scenery and an opportunity to explore a part of Morocco that is often overlooked.
Within the Atlas Mountains there is a wide variety of mineral deposits which have hardly been touched. Amongst lead, zinc, iron, manganese, antimony and phosphates, gold and silver can also be found.
