6. Where is the Atlas mountain located?
•Stretching across the northern part of Africa,
extending about 2,500 km (1,500 miles)
throughMorocco, Algeria and Tunisia, the
Atlas is a mountain range that separates the
Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines from
the Sahara desert.

7. With an elevation of 4,167 meters (13,671 ft),
the Toubkal Mountains are the highest peak in
southwesternMorocco. The Atlas Mountains
has a population that consists mainly of
Berbers.

9. So you’re probably
wondering why???
Let’s get down to
business!

10. Deep in the high Atlas mountains lies the
crumbling remains of the great fortress-palace
ofTelouet. This place is hidden so which
means nobody knows about it. Well now you
do.

11. After a drive over the Tizi-n-Tichka pass (which
is about 2260m) you will arrive at the lush
remote village of Tijhza.

12. This isn’t any plain boring
village. This is home to the
Berber people.

and animals species. Such as

the Atlas mountains is
during spring and

21. •Wheat is grown At bin el Quidane. Farming is
done. The wheat is cut with scythes and it is
then tossed into the air in order toseparate
the wheat from the chaff and ground by
stone. Fruits and vegetables come from the
plains.
