Topography of Morocco. Morocco is an African country bordering the Mediterranean Sea to the north, Spain at the land borders of Ceuta and Melilla, and the Atlantic Ocean, united by the Strait of Gibraltar. To the south, it borders Western Sahara (or Mauritania, according to sahara as an independent or ancified country to Morocco). To the east and south-east it borders Algeria, and to the west it borders the Atlantic Ocean. Relief Relief Morocco is mainly mountainous, and its average height is about 800 meters above sea level. The mountains occupy more than two-thirds of Morocco's territory, and their height is not at all neglist, as several peaks exceed 4000 m, such as Tubkal, which reaches 4162 meters in height. The country has four main mountain ranges and is the only maghreb country that has a huge mountain range, the Atlas, divided into three parts. In the northern part of the country, the Rif Mountains border the Mediterranean Sea, between Tangier and the Algerian border. The highest peak of the Rif reaches 2456 m on Mount Tidirhine, in the central part of the mountain range. Vegetation varies from the west, where mainly the perennial vegetation of spruce, pine and cedar grows at altitudes, and spur oak, whining, cork oak and sabina in the lower areas, in the east, where dry steppes and maquis appear. [1] Inland, the three main chains of the Atlas, the Central Atlas, the High Atlas, and the Anti-Atlas, appear inland. The Central Atlas extends from the northeast to the southeast between the Rif and the High Atlas, separating the dry plains from the east and the wetliest plains from the west. To the north, it is separated from the Rif by the Taza Gorge, in the valley of the Inauen River. To the east of the mountain range there are steep massifs, such as jebel (mountains) Bon Naceur (3356 m) or Bouiblane (3192 m), with a significant thickness of snow in winter. In the west, the chain softens to make room for more affordable reliefs and small heights. The Central Atlas is the source of the most important rivers in the country. To the south it borders the High Atlas. The high atlas is oriented from southwest to northeast. It forms a huge barrier with a length of almost 750 km, which separates Saharan Morocco from the Atlantic and Mediterranean Morocco. The complex has just over 100,000 km2 of area and the highest altitudes in the country. The bas-relief of the High Atlas is divided into three different entities: the western High Atlas, created in the Jurassic and Chalk era, is lined with deep valleys and has the highest peak in the Tubkal National Park, formed in 1942 near tubkal, with its 4167 m and Mount Uanukrim (4,089 m). The Central High Atlas is limestone, dominated by a tabular bas-relief that ends at 2500 m, with a peak, Mount Ighil M'Goun, 4071 m. Eastern High Atlas begins on the Muluya River and consists of large plateaus and peaks such as Mount Ayachi (3747 m). To the east, the hills shrink to connect to the Sahara on the border with Algeria. The Anti-Atlas or Little Atlas runs from southeast to northeast to south of the High Atlas, between on the coast, Uarzazate, moroccan cinema mec, in the center, and Tafilalet, in the east, near the dunes of Merzouga. In the lower western part it is separated from the western Atlas High by the River Sus, which flows into the Agadir. The Atlas Extension, culminating in Mount Sirwa (3304 m), separates this slope from the eastern one, which begins in the Gorge of the Dadés River, a tributary of the Draa River, near Uarzazate, where the Kasbahs route begins. To the east are the Saghro Mountains (2500-2700 m). Morocco climate classification, from warm desert in red, to warm Mediterranean summer in yellow, warm semi-dry brown and subaric with dry lilac summer. Morocco's climate can be divided into two regions: the north- west climate, where 95 percent of the population lives, and the much drier south-east climate. On the Mediterranean coast there is a temperate climate similar to that of the Iberian Peninsula; on the Atlantic coast is more oceanic and becomes drier as we travel east and inland. On the Mediterranean coast, summers are relatively warm and winters mild. Precipitation ranges from 600-1500 mm in the west to 300-700 mm in the east. Snow is abundant at altitudes. In Tangier, in the west, 735 mm falls in 84 days, especially from October to April, with dry summer and temperatures from 8 oC in winter minimum to 26 oC summer highs. In Melilla in the east 391 mm falls within 43 days, and in August 29 oC. Sea water ranges from 16 to 23 oC. In the Rif chain, parallel to the Mediterranean, the climate becomes continental as you rise in the mountains (Chauen, Issaguen, Targuist, Taza). Above 1000 m, it becomes alpine, with cold winters and mild summers (Bab Berred). [3] The Dunes of Merzouga, at the gates of the Sahara on the Atlantic coast, the climate is Mediterranean with ocean influences. On the coast summers are warm and temperate, and in winter cooler than in the Mediterranean (Rabat, Casablanca, Essaouira, Larache). As you move away from the sea, it becomes more continental, with warmer summers and colder winters (Fes, Meknés, Khenifra, Beni Mellal). Above 1000 m, the climate is alpine, with mild summer and cold winters (Ifrane, Azrou, Midelt, Imouzzer Kandar). Rainfall ranges from 500 to 1800 mm in the north, with a significant decrease as it moves south. Snow is abundant in the mountains, with two ski resorts, one in the Central Atlas (Mischliffen) and one in the High Atlas (Ouka-meden). In Casablanca, on the coast, 375 mm fall in 72 days, from October to April; the average maximum temperature is 26 oC in summer, can reach 40 oC; the minimum average is 9 oC in January, but can reach helar. [4] In Essaouira, the climate is very similar. In Fes, inside, it rains a little more (550 mm), and temperatures range from 36 oC on average in July to 4 oC in January. In Ifrane, with alpine climate, fall 1185 mm in 108 days, with little rain from June to September and with 21 oC half summer and 4 oC winter average. The southern and south-eastern regions of Morocco have a semi-ache climate. They fall from 250 to 350 mm of rain, and temperatures do not differ much from the temperatures in the central part, more extreme inside. In Agadir, on the coast, 224 mm falls in 35 days and barely rains from June to August, with temperatures from winter to summer from 8 to 26 oC. In Marrakech they fall 281 mm in 59 days, with maximum averages in summer exceeding 36 oC and absolute maximums of 49 oC. [6] South of the Atlas, the climate becomes drier. In Uarzazate, at an altitude of 1150 m above sea level, 112.2 mm per year falls in 33 days, with maximum averages of 37 oC in July and August and a minimum of 17 oC in December and January. In Merzouga falls less than 50 mm per year, with a minimum of 2 oC in January and a maximum of 41 oC in July. Hydrography Youssef Ibn Tachfin Reservoir in Tiznit Province.

    MOROCCO AND WESTERN SAHARA Date - April 2019 Duration - 22 Days Destinations Casablanca - El Jadida - Agadir - Souss-Massa National Park - Arrouais Reserve - Rokein Reserve - Tafraoute - Tizi n’ Test - Ouirgane - Imlil - Toubkal National Park - Ouzoud Falls - Ifrane National Park - Tazekka National Park - Dakhla - Aousserd Trip Overview - Morocco Having come to rely somewhat on his superb spotlighting skills, I decided that it made sense to schedule my return to Morocco for the Easter holiday period, when James would be home from university and available to travel with me once again. Although I appreciate his excellent company even more than his invaluable assistance on what can be fairly demanding tours, neither are luxuries that I will be able to rely upon for a great deal longer, as his studies will require far more of his time during his second year and of course there are now also more personal demands on any remaining free time. We will be travelling to the Congo, both the Republic and Democratic Republic, together in July 2019 to research a great apes tour that I have been planning for some time, but this will probably be our last major trip together for the foreseeable future. If it is, western gorillas and bonobos will be an appropriately spectacular way to conclude what, from my perspective at least, has been an incredibly rewarding experience and I have to say that I am glad that our remarkable journey did not come to an end in Morocco. That is not to suggest that Morocco is not a beautiful country and that our tour was unsuccessful, as neither are the case and we both thoroughly enjoyed exploring what is undoubtedly an alluring and historic destination.

  • 1 Morocco and Western Sahara, July 9-19, 2018
    Morocco and Western Sahara, July 9-19, 2018 VLADIMIR DINETS Notes: I will summarily refer to both countries as “Morocco” in the introduction, but it doesn’t mean that I recognize Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara. See Addendums 1-2 for identification guides to shrews and gerbils of the area. I got very few photos; some of those are in Addendum 3. Morocco is popular among mammalwatchers, and for good reasons. Many of its ~100 species of land mammals are endemic, near-endemic, or easier to find than elsewhere. I managed to see 72 of them (plus two dolphins) in 11 days; a larger team can probably see 80+ in two weeks. The country is reasonably safe (as long as you don’t use roads), beautiful (few other places have so successfully resisted the plague of junk architecture), and friendly (sometimes excessively). There are great trip reports from Morocco, including the pioneering reports by Richard Webb and the excellent recent report by Bebbi Babbler team. I’ll try to avoid too much repetition. Even with so much coverage, some of the best sites, such as the amazing Kef Azigza, are not yet on mammalwatchers’ radar; I’ll describe those sites in more detail. Summer is not the best time to visit Morocco. Daytime temperatures in the desert can reach 51oC, so rocks and tussocks don’t cool until morning, making thermal imagers almost useless. Everything except the highest elevations is very dry. The only advantage is that high mountains are snow-free, but there are no high-elevation endemics among Moroccan mammals.

N. Sheikh ii Executive Summary This research addresses the development of optimization models for the hospital facility location problem in the prefecture of Casablanca, as well as a case of fire simulation in Ifrane National Park. In the first part, it focuses on introducing three optimization models to generate optimal locations of facility hospitals in the prefecture of Casablanca. Then, it addresses a new problem with the objective of deploying fire engines into fire locations in order to minimize the time to go back to the depot or to the last fire location. We first formulate the facility location problem using the P-Median problem as an integer programming model that minimizes the total weighted distance traveled by district prefectures’ populations to reach a servicing facility. Afterwards, we solve the facility location problem by applying the P-Center problem with the objective of minimizing the maximum distance covered by the population of any district prefecture to one of its servicing hospitals. Next, we model the facility location problem using the maximal covering location problem (MCLP) as a maximization problem that would cover as many demand points as possible within a predefined and fixed distance.

  • Tourism, Local Communities and Environmental Governance: Analysis of the Souss Massa Nature Park Governance in Morocco
    Athens Journal of Tourism - Volume 6, Issue 4 – Pages 245-276 Tourism, Local Communities and Environmental Governance: Analysis of the Souss Massa Nature Park Governance in Morocco By Mohamed Boukherouk* & Rachid Ed-Dali Although it has been proven and well integrated in many states, the bottom-up development approaches and the participation of the local population are very recent orientations in Morocco. In this very centralized state, the process is still slow and difficult to implement. However, the new territorial and environmental challenges require local governance where the local community needs to be more involved in decision-making and planning for environmental protection. Through the analysis of the national environment strategy, this paper sheds light on the integration of environmental governance in the Natural Park of Souss Massa (PNSM) in South-west Morocco linked with tourism actors. Indeed, the development of responsible and ecological tourism takes part in this new orientation and makes it possible to federate several actors with the aim of protecting and safeguarding the natural environment. It highlights the environmental governance mechanisms and frameworks proposed to the local community to participate in the implementation of the strategy. A field study made it possible to recognize the various points of view and the aspirations of the local population to participate in the environmental management of their fragile and threatened space. Keywords: Ecological Tourism, Environmental Governance, Protected Areas, Local Governance, Strategy, PNSM. Introduction In Morocco tourism is a crucial sector. Its development raises several problems, especially in the protected areas. The pressure on lands offering the best views and conditions for receiving tourist flows is a threat to these ecosystems, especially in a developing country with a nascent environmental awareness, and several economic and social development priorities.

  • Hceflcd Contrats Programmes 2016
    2016 BILAN d’aCTIVITES HCEFLCD Contrats Programmes 2016 Avant-propos La situation géostratégique entre la Méditerranée au Nord, l’Océan Atlantique à l’Ouest et le Sahara au Sud, et les grandes variations altitudinales et climatiques confèrent au Maroc des écosystèmes forestiers riches et diversifiés, couvrant une superficie d’environ 9 millions d’hectares dont 5,8 millions ha boisés. Par sa position géographique, le Maroc est caractérisé, par rapport aux autres pays circum-méditerranéens, par un climat, une géologie et une géomorphologie originales; permettant l’installation et le développement d’une flore riche et diversifiée. En effet, le climat est de type méditerranéen sur presque l’ensemble du territoire, mais il est profondément influencé par l’océan atlantique. Il présente un éventail très large du point de vue bioclimatique (les moyennes annuelles des précipitations varient de 30 à plus de 2 000 mm) et tous les bioclimats définis pour la zone méditerranéenne y sont représentées. Ces traits orographiques et bioclimatiques sont à l’origine de la grande richesse floristique et la diversité des biocénoses. Si on envisage les phytocénoses forestières et les formations steppiques, celles-ci constituent des groupements dont la superficie couverte est de 9 millions d’ha. Ainsi, les écosystèmes forestiers constituent, d’une part, une niche biologique pour la conservation de la biodiversité et, d’autre part, un espace multifonctionnel qui conditionne l’économie rurale des populations usagères avec des systèmes socioéconomiques et culturels spécifiques au contexte marocain. Dans cette optique, les programmes du Haut-Commissariat aux Eaux et Forêts et à la Lutte Contre la Désertification (HCEFLCD) sont articulés autour d’une vision intégrée qui vise la conservation et le développement des espaces naturels pour pérenniser leurs rôles et fonctions.

    Royaume du Maroc Ministère de l’Aménagement du Territoire, de l’Eau et de l’Environnement Secrétariat d’Etat chargé de l’Environnement Stratégie nationale pour la conservation et l’utilisation durable de la Diversité Biologique 2004 Illustrations : Dahssi H., Dakki M., E.F., El Agbani M., Falaki H., Revue des FAR, Ibn Tattou M., Jaafar B., Maghnouj M., G.E.M. Préface Depuis le "Sommet de la terre" à Rio, la protection de l'environnement a été hissée au rang des priorités stratégiques internationales pour accompagner le développement socio-économique. La Biodiversité, composante vivante de cet environnement, et plus particulièrement la menace qui pèse sur cette diversité biologique, a été l'une des principales questions négociées lors de ce sommet et qui a abouti à l’adoption, entre autres, de la Convention sur la Diversité Biologique (CDB). La signature, par le Maroc, de cette convention lors de ce sommet, témoigne de l'importance capitale qu'accorde notre pays à son patrimoine vivant et à ses ressources biologiques, écosystémiques et paysagères. Ces ressources constituent, en effet, les piliers de son développement économique et social puisque, le Maroc, pays agricole, avec un taux de boisement de 8%, dispose d'un espace maritime estimé à près de 3500 km de côtes et d'un million de Km² de superficie. L’agriculture, les forêts et les ressources halieutiques, avec les phosphates (eux-mêmes d'origine "biodiversitaire") et le tourisme (diversité paysagère) constituent l'assise sur laquelle repose pratiquement toute la politique économique et sociale du Royaume. Le Maroc, privilégié par sa position géographique, par son histoire climatique et géologique et par la très grande diversité de ses écosystèmes, constitue une partie de la mémoire universelle.

  • Influence Du Tourisme Sur La Gestion De L'eau En Zone Aride Exemple De
    Université de Lausanne – Institut de Géographie (IGUL) Influence du tourisme sur la gestion de l'eau en zone aride Exemple de la vallée du Drâa (Maroc) Mémoire de licence sous la direction du professeur E. REYNARD Simon MARTIN – juin 2006 Résumé du mémoire La vallée du Drâa est un chapelet d'oasis situé au Sud-Est du Maroc, en zone aride. Cette région connaît un important développement touristique, basé essentiellement sur la découverte du désert. Récemment, les hôtels se sont multipliés à Zagora, ville principale de la vallée, augmentant fortement la consommation d'eau potable et souterraine pour satisfaire leurs clients. Mais les ressources sont rares et essentiellement dévolues à l'agriculture qui ne peut exister ici sans irrigation. Les touristes, quoique très mal informés de la situation locale, sont généralement sensibles aux questions d'économie d'eau. Les gaspillages constatés dans les hôtels pourraient être évités par une meilleure information des responsables. En effet, la conscience de partager avec d'autres usagers une ressource limitée est trop rarement présente. Pourtant, seule une consommation mesurée et équitable de l'eau peut assurer la survie à long terme de l'activité agricole et touristique dans la vallée du Drâa. Note au sujet des termes locaux Les noms communs d'origine arabe sont signalés en italique. Leur définition est donnée dans le glossaire en annexe. Pour l'orthographe française, je me suis basé sur le riche « glossaire des termes locaux » de L. Ouhajou (1996). Le pluriel est habituellement en « s », mais le pluriel arabe est utilisé lorsqu'il est proche de la forme au singulier (par exemple: un qsar, des qsour, mais on parlera de seguias et non de swagui).
