A few years ago I visited the South of Morocco, and we drove through the Atlas montains It was very beautiful to see, but I learned that it was the poorest part of Morroco at that time without electricity. Meanwhile they have. The time seems to stand still in this area.
The Atlas Mountains extend some 2,500km across northwestern Africa, spanning Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, separating the Atlantic and Mediterranean coastline from the Sahara Desert. Actually a series of ranges with diverse terrain, climates and wildlife, the Atlas are dotted with Berber villages and riven with canyons and ravines. The highest peak is 4,167m Toubkal, which lies within Morocco's Toubkal National Park.

Such a dramatic landscape. It doesn't look gentle or forgiving does it?

Great photos! The cacti was surprising but reminded me somewhat of the desert in Arizona.
