Anti Atlas Mountains

The Anti-Atlas mountain range runs along the Atlantic coast and borders the Sahara Desert. For decades, these mountains have fascinated scientists due to the widely contrasting bio-environments such as arid rocky cliffs, rivers, oases, and valleys. 

Jabel Sirwa, the highest peak in the Anti-Atlas, reaches a height of 10,839 feet (3,304 m.)  This mountain range is home to a few scattered Berber tribes and serves as a popular attraction for trekking enthusiasts as well as folks who are looking to enjoy the beautiful landscapes.
