High Atlas can be called the Grand Atlas Mountains; in Arabic it reads: الاطلس الكبير and in French it is Haut Atlas.
It is a mountain range in central Morocco.
It offers dramatic landscapes which are a joy for photographers and for us... for all of us without a professional camera! Actually, I simply enjoy watching my customers' pictures!

The range includes Jbel Toubkal, which at 4,167 m is the highest in the range and lies in Toubkal national Park. It is a weather system barrier in Morocco running east-west and separating the desert climatic influences, which are particularly important in the summer, from the Mediterranean climate to the north, resulting in evident changes in temperature across the range.
