The Atlas Mountains are a range of mountains that extend through North Africa, including Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. These mountains are also known by different names, depending on the region or language. In Morocco, they are referred to as "Jebel Atlas," while in Algeria, they are called "Les Monts de l'Atlas." In Berber, the indigenous language of the region, they are known as "Idurar n Watlas" or "Adrar n Watlas." The Atlas Mountains are also sometimes called the "backbone of North Africa" due to their size and length. Regardless of their name, the Atlas Mountains are a magnificent and essential part of the North African landscape.
