The Atlas Mountains

---

From Fes, we had a very long drive to Marrakech through the stunning scenery of the middle Atlas mountains. We explored Marrakech with its many souks, pretty Bahia palace and amazingly chaotic Djemaa el Fna square, before heading out of the city to the Ourika Valley. We drove up the valley to the foothills of the High Atlas mountains, stopping in a Berber village. We visited the house of one of the villagers, drinking some traditional mint tea (rather too sweet for our liking!) before heading further up the valley for some amazing views.
