This area, containing all the highest peaks, is by far the most popular region in the Atlas Mountain for walkers. The trek up to Mountain Toubkal and the Neltner hut is undertaken by several thousand visitors each year, of all nationalities. Travel beyond the narrow confines of the Mizane valley, however, and you are unlikely to meet more one or two other trekkers. Roughly speaking, the Toubkal area is bounded by the Tizi-N’test to the west, and the Tizi N’tichka to the east. Most of the interest is concentrated in or around the central line of peaks from ouanoukrim north-east to annrhemer and angour.
The Toubkal region started to become well known to trekkers back in the 1970s. The landscape are spectacular and for walkers there are plenty of bivouac and accommodation opportunities. For the less energetic, many interesting part of the region can be visited as part of an organized 4WD excursion from Marrakech, popular are trips up onto the plateau du Kik, Imlil Valleyand in the Ourika valley. The problem is that certain treks, including Toubkal ascent are almost too popular in summer season. Nevertheless, there are plenty of alternative routes.
The mgoun Massif is in fact within relatively easy reach of Marrakech and offers some of the most superlative walking anywhere in Morocco, as well as fabulous local architecture. The mgoun Massif, unlike the Toubkal region, consists of the typical sedimentary rocks of the High Atlas with their characteristic escarpment, long crested ridges and deep gorges, cut by the rivers through the softer rocks as the young fold mountains have risen. The summit of the Mgoun Massif, variously called Ighil Mgoun or amsod (4068m) is the highest point in the Atlas outside the Toubkal Area.
Marrakech is one of the four imperial cities and a former capital of the country. At least a thousand years old it first became a town of importance during the almoravid dynasty in the eleventh century. It was during this period that the first Koutoubia mosque was built. The minaret, incidentally, still dominates the skyline of Marrakech and makes a useful central reference point. Marrakech is invariably the starting point for trips Toubkal region, clearly visible from the city during the winter months. It also makes the most sensible starting point for visits to the Mgoun area and Jebel Saghro.
Marrakech is Morocco’s main point of entry for tourism, many of whom never venture far beyond its red walls, despite the enticing and dramatic backdrop of the High Atlas Mountains, snow-capped until April or May and a venue for numerous excursions. The city has a memorable beauty, with its Palm-lined streets and red earth walls, surrounding a huge medina of flat-roofed houses. Above all, Marrakech is worth visiting to experience the vibrant mass of food stalls, musicians and snake charmers in the seething Jemaa el Fna, and for its souks – a labyrinthine network of markets, where people come to buy and sell from all over the surrounding plains, the High Atlas and the Sahara
The 4167m ( 13,670ft) high summit of Jebel Toubkal dominates the Atlas for tens og kilometers around and is at the centre of the Jebel Toubkal National Park, which covers some 36,000ha of forest and mountainside. The mountain and the surrounding park offer some treks to the summit of Toubkal taking two to six days from Imlil or Marrakech. Toublal is clearly visible from Marrakech and flanked bt almost equally dramatic summits. Even in high summer, these mountain slopes and valley can offer some respite from the heat of plains The Berber Villages of the Atlas are characteristically clutters of box-like, flat-roofed, mud-brick houses, sur-rounded by green cultivated terraces that stand out vividly against bare hillsides. The highest villages are at some 2000m (6500ft) above sea level, and spring villages drive their flocks higher into the mountains to take advantage of seasonal pastures.
One of the finest Kasbahs in Morocco, Ait ben Haddou is situated about 30Km northwest of Ouarzazate, on the Marrakech highway. A dramatically located complex of ornamented red stone and mud-brick walls with decorated towers, it stands among green terraces of barley, almond and palm trees, with the high Atlas peaks as backdrop. To the east of Ouarzazate, the highway runs through hill country through a bleak but spectacular landscape of shattered, multicolored rock, and then descends to the small town of Agdz, the gateway to the draa valley – a huge, linear oasis formed by the oued draa at it flows through arid, rocky landscape towards the Sahara .
