MARRAKESH : ATLAS EXCURSIONS
The countryside around Marrakesh is some of the most beautiful in Morocco. The High Atlas mountains that make such a spectacular backdrop to the city are even more impressive when you’re actually among them. For a spot of hiking, or even skiing, they’re easy enough to reach in an hour or two by grand taxi (see p.131) from the gare routière de Bab er Robb, 2km southwest of the Jemaa el Fna.
