The Atlas Mountains in Morocco are composed of three distinct mountain chains:1

High Atlas: Extending 460 miles from the Atlantic coast to the Algerian border, this range contains the highest point in the Atlas system, Mount Toubkal, which reaches 13,665 feet (4,165 meters).21
Middle Atlas: Located in central Morocco, this range trends northward from the High Atlas and reaches a maximum elevation of 10,958 feet (3,340 meters) at Mount Bou Nasser.31
Anti-Atlas: This range extends southwestward from the High Atlas toward the Atlantic coast, running parallel to and south of the central range.41

While the Rif Mountains are also a major mountain system in Morocco, they are distinct from the Atlas Mountains and form a separate buffer along the Mediterranean coastline.1
