Route:
Casablanca - Agadir - Tiznit - Tafraoute - Tata - Foum-Zguid - Mhamid - quarzazate - Imlil - Lac d'Ifni - Jbel Toubkal - Marrakesh – Casablanca

Morocco is high mountains and desert, the forgotten world of canyons of Anti-Atlas and resort coast, a night life of ancient Marrakesh and customs of month Ramadan - such sated and various fortnight acquaintance to this surprising country appeared…

Line quarzazate -Marrakesh, the"promoted" tourist route. But our route is the other way.	We are going on earth road along High Atlas range, toward to Lac d'Ifni lake - to the beginning of our ascent on Tizi-n-Ouanoume pass.	Multi-coloured mountains...
		... And martian landscapes of tuff fields-	the traces of volcanic activity

Phantasmagoria of colors

Shelter 'Jbel Toubkal', 3207 m		On the other side of mountains
			We had to interrupt the ascent on Mt. Jbel Toubkal (4167m) - the highest point of Atlas range and all northern Africa - at the altitude of 3820 m, as we did not have any special equipment to climb on a very dangerous ice-covered slope.
	Downwards, to Marrakesh, to people, to heat and the sun!
