8th of May 2025 - Atlas Mountains

We drove from the saffron coloured fields surrounding Marrakech into the wooded foothills of the Atlas Mountains with river filled gorges.

 

Up in the Atlas Mountains we visited a Berber dwelling complete with its own water mill and hammam.  A hammam is a place of public bathing which s a prominent feature in the culture of the Muslim world.

 

On our way back to Marrakech there was a chance to shop and drink more mint tea.

 

Morocco is ramping up its infrastructure projects ahead of the 2030 FIFA World Cup.  The main road we took into Marrakech is a tree lined boulevard with fountains with many hotels under construction along its length.
