Escape Into To The World Of The Majestic Atlas Mountains
As interesting as the facts sound, they come nowhere close to the beauty the place actually holds. We urge you to take a trip to the Atlas Mountains to experience the explosion of culture, beauty and warmth. Atlas Mountains are known to be a world famous tourist destination. The snow topped peaks kissing the skies, lush greenery and the amalgamation of culture and rural life peacefully co-existing with nature is something you don’t get to see often! Ah, I feel the adrenaline rush just by talking about it! Apart from this, people from all over come here to learn about its infamous geological formation. When in Marrakech, it’s about a 90 minute drive with a pleasant view through the rocky terrain. There’s plenty to do while in the Atlas Mountains. First and foremost, without a doubt, has to be the hike to Mt Toubkal. At 4,167 metres (13,671 ft), it happens to be North Africa’s highest peak. Remember to carry a backpack with all essentials. If travelling by a vehicle, the famous “Snake road”, can be seen from the road. Trucks loaded with hay going up and down the mountains is a common observation. Women with their donkeys loaded with sacks of produce, shepherds with their sheep everywhere in the green farms are other common sights.
