Berber Culture:Transportation

A very important aspect of Berber culture is transportation. The Berbers use mules besides feet as transportation like the way we use cars in the city.The mules help the Berbers to import and export things. Mules more helpful to the Berbers because Berbers mostly go on trails where cars can’t go because its too narrow, which is why mules are more helpful. Also the cars need gas and gas stations are very very far from villages and to get gas they have to pay for it in cash and in Berber villages they exchange instead using money to get what they need. That's why on our trip on Week Without Walls we had to walk most of the time and ride mules. During the whole trip we only saw one car (besides Imil, because it had roads and tourist).

Me, Myself, and I

Hi everyone, my name is Rachida and I go to an international school in Morocco. I am Moroccan and my first language is English. I previously lived in the United States of America. When I came to Morocco, I learned how to speak French and Arabic. In the international school I made friend from Europe, Asia, and North America, which is a very wide variety of cultures. I really love my country because you have from the high snowy mountains to the burning hot deserts. I have discovered new experiences and tastes. I feel like a tourist or like a stranger in my own country because I keep learning new things like the beautiful sights and I am still discovering the charms of Morocco. But there is one very important thing to me and its not my relatives or my country its my friends. My friends are what help me get through a hard day at school and each one is special and funny. All of my friends are very different but all similar. They are like a sip of water to me in the burning hot dessert.

Welcome to My Blog on Berbers in Morocco

For five days I was up on the High Atlas Mountains with my classmates in seventh grade to visit several Berber villages. My class and I learned about seven fascinating topics while the other students who couldn't come wrote about the High Atlas Mountains. The trip was to see and experience of the berbers who lived in the different villages and the information will help us with our Berber Project.
