Moroccan Plateau
Quick Summary
The Moroccan Plateau is a series of high plains located in Atlantic Morocco, south of the Rabat-Fès line and between the Atlas Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. These plains are characterized by coarser deposits and are part of the broader relief of Morocco, which features significant mountain ranges like the Atlas and Rif Mountains. The plateau includes notable areas such as the Saïs Plain near Fès and Meknès, the Tadla Plain northeast of Marrakech, and the Haouz Plain west of Marrakech. Additionally, the Chaouïa, Doukkala, and Abda plains south of Casablanca are also considered part of this plateau system.12
