More information

Stretching across Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, the Atlas Mountains form one of North Africa’s most striking natural regions. Snow-capped peaks, deep valleys and traditional Berber villages define this vast mountain range.

Background and geography

The Atlas Mountains extend for roughly 1,600 miles (2,500 kilometers), separating the Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines from the Sahara Desert. The range includes several subregions, such as the High Atlas, home to Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa at 13,671 feet (4,167 meters). For centuries, the mountains have shaped trade routes, settlement patterns and local cultures.

Why visit

Visitors come for the scenery and outdoor experiences. The Atlas Mountains offer hiking, trekking and panoramic viewpoints, as well as insight into traditional Berber life. Landscapes change quickly, from fertile valleys to rugged peaks, making the region one of Morocco’s most diverse and rewarding areas to explore.
