What should I know about altitude sickness when trekking in the Atlas Mountains?

[mariondavis3181]

Altitude sickness can affect trekkers at elevations above 2,500 meters. Symptoms include headache, nausea, and dizziness. To prevent it, acclimatize slowly, stay hydrated, and avoid overexertion. For high-altitude treks like Toubkal and other Atlas Mountains treks, spend a night at a mid-altitude before ascending.
