Jebel Toubkal, also called the Toubkal massif, is the highest point of the High Atlas at 4,167 meters above sea level. This mountain gave its name to a 38,000 ha national park in 1942 of exceptional diversity, marked by stands of holm oak and cedar, through herbaceous plants and others intended for holm oak. Plateaus and cliffs alternate with gorges where rivers with crystal clear waters flow, which provide irrigation in the valleys and plains of the piedmont.
