Morocco is a country that goes from dry hot desert to alpine freshness in a few hundred km!
I found this nice lake whilst driving north though the Middle Atlas of Morocco and thought I’d share it with you – location at the end. The Middle Atlas region (photos below) is the opposite extreme to the hot, dry desert where I just came from. See desert post first if you haven’t already: The Sahara Desert by campervan and camel
Driving through the Middle Atlas region of Morocco
There’s a dirt track off the main road
It leads to a nice camping spot
By this lake
With rivers and streams
This region is home to the Atlas Cedar tree
Also see: Finding Morocco’s wild monkeys in the Middle Atlas
There are wild mules
And horses
It’s been a while since I saw snow
Here’s the location:
The lake is called Lac Aguelmame Sidi Ali. Coordinates: N 32 47.566 W 4 47.911
If you’re in a van I recommend this part of Morocco. Amazing scenery and land. Also, the very few tourists around here seemed to be mainly Moroccan. No one hassles you! … until Fez
