Atlas Mountains, Mountain range in northwestern Africa.
The Atlas Mountains extend 2,500 kilometers through Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, forming a natural barrier between the Mediterranean Sea and the Sahara Desert.
The formation of these mountains occurred over three geological phases, with the final uplift happening when Europe and Africa collided 66 million years ago.
The Berber populations inhabit various regions of the Atlas Mountains, using traditional agricultural methods in the fertile valleys and mountain slopes.
The highest peak, Mount Toubkal in Morocco, reaches 4,167 meters and provides opportunities for hiking between September and November.
The Middle Atlas section receives substantial rainfall, supporting cedar forests and enabling the development of winter sports facilities in Morocco.
Elevation above the sea: 4,165 m
Part of: Alpide belt
