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).
