Adventurer Embarks on 1,400-km Camel Trek Across Morocco’s Atlas Mountains
Tuesday 25 August 2020, by
Alice Morrisson is a Scotswoman who has adopted Morocco where she has been living for several years. Admiring the many facets of the Moroccan landscape, she has embarked on a journey across the country with three guides and camels.
On Friday, August 21, the 57-year-old Scotswoman began the last stage of an adventure divided into three parts. After being the first woman to walk along the Draa River, she crossed the Sahara Desert to the Mauritanian border.
This adventure will last 78 days and is done on foot and by camel to allow her to contemplate the Atlas Mountains, from Nador to Ouarzazate. Alice Morrison will have a total of 1,400 kilometers to cover. Her journey is carried out in strict compliance with the preventive measures taken by the authorities to fight the Covid-19 pandemic.
Alice Morrison is not just a woman in love with Morocco. She is also the author of several books, including "Adventures in Morocco". And if her travels through the country are so pleasant, it’s because she speaks Arabic fluently.
