THE ATLAS MOUNTAINS IN MOROCCO

Driving from Marrakesh to Ouarzazate in the south of Morocco we had to cross the Atlas Mountains. No other route is leading there. It is a mountain range across a northern stretch of Africa extending about 2,400 km (1,500 miles) through Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. The highest peak is Jbel Toubkal, with an elevation of 4,167 metres (13,671 ft) in southwestern Morocco.

The landscapes we saw were absolutely breathtaking. All photos you see here I shot through the bus window. Apparently they were clean. There is not a lot to say about the pictures, they are self explaining.



























Each time there was a little green spot, there also was a village













The road (in excellent shape) was leading over the mountains like a snake























Only since 5 years or a little more, people got electricity here in the mountains




with the result that they also can watch TV now, see the parabol antennas on the old mud houses ?

Not at all to compare with  beautiful Zermatt chalets !





This mixture of a view out of the bible and modern equipment was quite bizarre. Without the cables and antennas the villages looked proabably the same like 2000 years ago !
