Morocco has mountains, and snow?! Wow, I learned something new today. I always thought the North African countries were flat and dry.

these mountains are the very thing that keeps the sahara dry. The mountains of Eastern Congo used to play a simmilar role for East Africa I think.

That's why Morocco is amazing !

Everything can change in few hours.:cheers:

Up 4000 meters. Toubkal is 4167m.

Argh, now I'm jealous of your ski resorts! Stupid equatorial climate patterns! Our tallest mountain is nearly 500 m taller than yours! People like it so much hat they've written articles about it
(http://www.jstor.org/pss/212283).

I think the African countries that experience significant Snow fall, owe it more to altitude,rather that latitude.

Great pictures of Morocco! I didn't know you got that much snow in Morocco.

Toubkal Park - (Morocco)

The site is a National Park covering 36,000 ha of the High Atlas, including the highest mountain in Morocco, Jbel Toubkal (4,167 m). Located only 60 km south of the town of Marrakech, the dramatic mountain scenery attracts thousands of visitors each year, many of whom climb Jbel Toubkal or trek elsewhere in the park. The mountain summits are often only slightly above the level of their surrounding high plateaus, which are separated by deep valleys. The park extends from 1,000 m upwards and therefore encompasses a range of vegetation-types, from forest to alpine meadow. Forest only covers 15% of the park, and consists mainly of the oldest Quercus rotundifolia stands in the High Atlas and Juniperus thurifera. Along the valleys, irrigated agriculture is practised and most of the park is used for extensive livestock-grazing.
