Middle Atlas Mountains
Middle Atlas Mountains
The Middle Atlas is a majestic mountain range in the north of Morocco. A significant portion of its area rises over 6,500 feet (2,000 meters). In fact, its highest point is Jabal Bou Naceur at 11,110 feet (3,350 meters.) The Middle Atlas stretches 220 miles (350 km) in length.
These mountains offer varied landscapes and a wide range of activities, from trekking and skiing to hunting and fishing.
It is said that prior to World War I, lions roamed this terrain. Unfortunately, the last of these Atlas lions was believed to have been killed in 1922, although it is rumored that the palace has recently discovered a few of these lions and are trying to preserve them. It’s impossible to know whether tidbits such as this are rumors or truth.
