More Info
Morocco is a mostly mountainous country, which is unique for Africa, and boasts two major mountain ranges. The Rif Mountains run from the northeast to the northwest of the country, while the Atlas Mountains run down the spine of the country.
For climbing enthusiasts, Mount Tidighin (2,456 meters) is a popular spot. The peak is the highest in the range and provides stunning panoramic views out over the rest of the mountain range.
Within the Atlas Mountains, there are plenty of other peaks, aside from Toubkal, to climb as well. M’Goun, Afella and Akioud are the only other 4,000 meter high peaks in the country. Spread throughout the Atlas Range, each one offers a slightly different mountaineering challenge.
