    A NOTE FROM SIR RICHARD BRANSON “ In 1998, I went to Morocco with the goal of circumnavigating the globe in a hot air balloon. Whilst there, my parents found a beautiful Kasbah and dreamed of turning it into a wonderful Moroccan retreat. Sadly, I didn’t quite manage to realise my goal on that occasion, however I did purchase that magnificent Kasbah and now my parents’ dream has become a reality. I am pleased to welcome you to Kasbah Tamadot, (Tamadot meaning soft breeze in Berber), which is perhaps one of the most beautiful properties in the high Atlas Mountains of Morocco.

  • Climbing in the Atlas Mountains a Survey
    HAMISH BROWN Climbing in the Atlas Mountains A Survey (Plates 24-27) magine a country with eighty per cent sunshine throughout the year, I grand mountain scenery, its rock climbing potential barely touched, all within easy reach, with no political hassles orcostly fees, and a lovely people. It may sound too good to be true but it all exists in Europe's nearest truly exotic foreign country: Morocco. The Atlas Mountains, which sweep across from north-east to south-west, separating 'the desert and the sown', offer a climber's paradise. Quite why the Atlas has suffered neglect by climbers from Britain is hard to understand. Perhaps the names are too difficult - there's no kudos in reporting unpronounceable climbs - or the information is hidden away in French publications. 1 Time the cat escaped from out of the bag. I spent a winter in the Atlas in 1965 and repeated this delight in 1966. Having gone there specifically to climb (Notes in AJ 1966) I ended simply hooked on the whole Atlas ambience and began to wander rather than be restricted to one area. The natural outcome of this was an end-to-end trek 2 in 1995 : 96 days, 900 miles and about 30 peaks bagged. Farfrom rounding off my knowledge, the trip introduced me to a score of new worthy areas to visit and I've had five Atlas months every year since. 3 The scope for climbing is vast. The country must have 50 limestone gorges, miles long and up to 2000 feet deep, each ofwhich would fill volumes ofclimbs if located in Europe, while on the mountains there are crests to be traversed and notable granite faces still virgin.

  • Winter Mountaineering in Morocco
    MOROCCO - Winter Mountaineering in Morocco OVERVIEW Mt Toubkal, known locally as Jebel Toubkal stands 4167m above sea level and commands superb views of the High Atlas Mountains. Toubkal sits on the eastern edge of a spectacular cirque ringing the head of the Mizane valley which contains numerous other peaks over 4000m. Nestling at the base of Toubkal are two mountain refuges, providing an excellent base to enjoy the superb range of winter mountaineering and climbing to be found here. Despite its latitude, this region receives good snowfall each year, and some years snow reaches depths of several metres. With ridges, icefalls, gullies, spectacular peaks, easy ascents to summer passes, there is more than enough here to please anyone’s aspirations. Combine this winter wonderland with some time in exotic Marrakech and you get the full hit of everything in Morocco; hustlers, markets, wacky spices, beautiful mountains, great food and really friendly people make it a trip to be remembered for a long time”. MOUNT TOUBKAL FOR WINTER CLIMBING North Africa’s highest mountain offers a unique opportunity to do some fine winter mountaineering and ice climbing at grades I to III. The week will cover: Snow belays, Rock and Ice anchors, multi-pitch climbing, route choice, avalanche avoidance, and movement techniques. Throughout the course we will aim to ascend some classic routes on Morocco’s 4000m peaks. All specialist equipment can be hired. Participation Statement Adventure Peaks recognises that climbing, hill walking and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions and involvement.

  • Chorology of Juniperus Thurifera (Cupressaceae) in Morocco
    2005, vol. 54, 41–50 Angel Romo, Adam Boratyński Chorology of Juniperus thurifera (Cupressaceae) in Morocco Received: 6 April 2005, Accepted: 2 June 2005 Abstract: The geographic distribution and occurrence conditions of Juniperus thurifera subsp. africana in Mo- rocco were studied. The literature and herbaria data, together with field observations formed the basis of de- tailed maps of distribution of the species in the Middle and High Atlas and allow us to analyze its vertical dis- tribution. The taxon occurs in the sub-arid and arid zones of the Middle and High Atlas with a separate popu- lation in the Anti-Atlas, mostly between altitudes 2000 and 2700 m, with an altitudinal maximum at 3400 m and a minimum at 1700 m. It forms forests in the area of about 30 000 ha. In many places of the High Atlas it is the only wood source for local populations. It is strongly endangered because of over exploitation of the wood, over pasturing and lack of seedlings and young specimens.
