High Atlas Mountains
Your journey to Merzouga begins with a spectacular drive through the High Atlas Mountains, Morocco’s natural backbone. Winding roads climb through scenic valleys and Berber villages perched on mountain slopes. As you ascend toward the Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260 m), panoramic views reveal snow-capped peaks in winter and terraced fields in summer. Stop for mint tea with locals or to photograph the breathtaking vistas — this route offers a beautiful introduction to Morocco’s rich landscapes and culture.
