Atlas Mountains Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Leather tanneries in Morocco still follow the old ways. Hides are soaked for a few days in vessels full of cow urine, quicklime, water and salt before being picked at and dried. Imagine the smell.
Another beautiful view from the Kasbah du Toubkal's terrace in the High Atlas Mountains. This is truly a unique location and an excellent place to stay if you are keen on trekking to the Toubkal, the tallest peak in Northern Africa.

Chefchaouen is truly one of the most colorful towns I have ever had the pleasure of exploring. While our visit was marred by consistent light rains, it didn't stop us from wandering the cobblestone streets and taking in all of the vibrant, polychrome buildings, and seemingly blue-dipped doors, roofs, staircases, and window frames.

Yup. I could live in this traditional Moroccan guesthouse. This is one of the several common areas that left me in awe.

It's like staying in a palace, complete with courtyards, a rooftop overlooking the entire city, incredible staff, the best food we've had in the country and even a swimming pool.

Great gym, room was dated, curtains didn't work, and there was sitting water on the balcony that made the smell terrible. The fragrance they pump in the lobby is extremely overpowering, if have to hold my breath or I would sneeze. Breakfast was great and staff we very nice!
