A solid chalk mass
morphologically dominated by tabular zones reaching an altitude of 2,500
m extends from Azilal to Ouarzazate. Here, the contrasting landscapes
remind visitors of the Colorado, with its high plateaux, its gorges and
box canyons, and its peaks sometimes splintered by erosion. Several
peaks in this area exceed 4000 m, with Jbel Mgoun at 4068 m being the
highest peak in this part of the High Atlas. The area is populated by
Berbers.
Walking in the Central
Hight Atlas will bring you into close contact with the berbers &
spend a good time with them during the trek & evening at the rural gite.
The
eastern part of the High Atlas forms vast plateaux at high
altitude which provide the headwaters for the Moulouya
River. It extends from the town of Khenifra and includes
oases at Jbel Ayachi (at 3747 m), Jbel Saghro and Jbel Sirwa
(3305 m). This portion of the range includes the solid mass
of the Tamlelt whose northern edge is occupied by its higher
peaks, such Jbel Ayachi at 3,747 m. The altitude falls
towards the east where the mountains join the pre-Saharan
zone.
This
massif became an internationally famous paleontological site
after the discovery of the bones of the completely unknown
ancestor of the dinosaurs, Atlasaurus, which populated
Morocco 180 million years ago. This dinosaur is also named
Tazoudasaurus, after the name of the village of Tazouda
where it was discovered. The creature, about nine metres
long, is postulated to be an ancestor of the Sauropoda found
in America. Until 140 million years ago the African and
American continents were connected.
