Atlas Mountains
The backbone of Morocco: Berber villages and mountain passes
About Atlas Mountains
The Atlas Mountains stretch 2,500 km across Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, but it is the Moroccan High Atlas that captures the imagination of travelers. The winding Tizi n'Tichka Pass (2,260m), crossed on every Marrakech-to-Sahara route, offers sweeping views of snow-capped peaks and plunging valleys.
The mountains are home to the Amazigh (Berber) people, who have lived here for millennia. Their distinctive pink-and-red kasbahs perch on rocky hilltops, their terraced fields cascade down steep valleys, and their hospitality is well known.
The Todra Gorge and Dades Valley, where the High Atlas meets the desert, are natural wonders of remarkable beauty. Sheer walls of rock rise 300 metres above a narrow canyon, through which a cool river flows year-round.

3 Days3 Days3 Days Marrakech: Erg Chigaga Desert
Erg Chigaga is Morocco's most remote sand sea, and this 3-day desert adventure from Marrakech is built to reach it. The dunes (over 40 km long and untouched by roads) are accessible only by 4x4, making this one of the country's last truly wild Saharan trips. The route passes through Ait Benhaddou, the long Draa Valley, the Koranic library of Tamegroute, and the seasonal Lake Iriqui salt flat on the return.
