ATLAS MOUNTAINS AND THE SOUTH

Getting Your Bearings

tourism has arrived since Edith Wharton wrote of southern Morocco's feudal chiefs and heat and savagery in her book in Morocco (1929). But the south is still exotic, and the chance of adventure remains. The tourist images of Morocco are often of the south: end-less ripples of immaculate sand dunes, grand Kasbahs, oases with thousands of plam trees, Berber villages hugging the mountains, and the "blue men-nomadic Tuaregs who epitomise adventure and harsh desert life. But perhaps most evocative of the region are the majestic peaks of the High Atlas, where Africa really begins.




Morocco's most exotic region inculdes its highest mountains its hottest desert and its most picturesque Kasbahs.

SPECTACULAR MOUNTAINS

On the Shoulders of a Giant in Greek mythology, Atlas was a Titan who revolted against the gods. As a punishment they placed the heavens on his shoulders. When his load became too heavy he begged to be turned into stone and was transformed into mount Atlas. About one seventh of the country lies more than 2,000m (6,500feet) above sea level, and the Atlas Mountains consist of three ranges.
