Atlas can refer to a collection of maps or to the Atlas Mountains. In a Morocco itinerary, the surrounding place names usually make the meaning clear.
Distinguish a map book and a destination
An atlas organises maps for reference. The Atlas Mountains name identifies a mountain system in northwestern Africa. Neither usage, by itself, tells you where a tour starts or which paths it follows.
Read beyond the label
A holiday described as Atlas trekking should name the region, base and route. Do not assume every attraction with Atlas in its name is nearby or part of the same itinerary.
Make the geography useful
Read the Atlas mountain-range guide, then locate the proposed start and finish. Ask Atlas Hikes for clarification when a place cannot be matched confidently. A clear map and itinerary are more useful for booking than an elaborate origin story without reliable sourcing.
