The Moroccan authorities were able to find Rachid Harchaoui and his German wife on Monday in good health, after they were besieged by heavy snow in an isolated mountainous area between the provinces of Tinghir and Azilal.
The couple disappeared last Friday during an exploratory trip in the mountainous region between Amsmarir and Zaouia Ahansal, which required quick intervention from rescue teams, which received support from friends of the missing.
According to local sources, the couple were rescued by a Royal Gendarmerie helicopter, and were transported to the city of Azilal to receive the necessary aid after heavy snow prevented them from continuing their journey or returning to their starting point.
Earlier, local authorities and the Royal Gendarmerie began extensive searches, despite the great challenges posed by the difficult weather conditions and heavy snowfalls.
The Ministry of Interior and the Royal Gendarmerie also followed the situation closely, and gave firm instructions to continue search operations and use all available resources to find the couple.
It should be noted that the area where the couple disappeared is characterized by rugged mountainous terrain, which makes it a great challenge for hikers, especially in light of the harsh weather witnessed in recent days.
