The magnificent Atlas mountains are the first site on our desert journey. These well-known ranges run across three nations in a row: Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. The Atlas Mountains, in reality, are not a continuous chain of mountains, but are divided by enormous distances. In general, they are split into three major components in each of the three nations. First, there are the Middle Atlas Mountains, which are located in central Morocco. This later is noted for being the coldest and having more rain seasons than the others, making it a major supply of water in the country. Its tallest peak, Bou Nasser, is approximately 3,340m high.
Finally, there are the High Atlas mountains, which are the biggest and longest. They are a range that spans the preceding North African countries. They have the most magnificent landmarks and scenery since they are the longest. Furthermore, they are home to the highest summit of all the ranges, Toubkal (4,167m).
In usual, when traveling over these mountains, we use an unique pass called Tizi Ntichka, which translates as “the col of being lost.” It is the sole route connecting Marrakech to the southeast. This curving road has several stunning views to stop at, such as its highest point, which is about 2260m.
