Berber Culture

While we were on the WWW trip, I learned new things about how the Berbers live, and their culture. The Berbers don't use cars, trains, motorcycles, and  sometimes bicycles as transportation devices. Instead of these, they walk on foot or ride mules and donkeys. Since there aren't many roads, this makes going from one place to another more hazardous, long, and difficult. The paths are rocky, sometimes narrow, and sinuous so the people walking on them have to be cautious and used to it.

Mules and donkeys are a good way to get around in the mountains. They are used to the rocky terrain and the steep slopes. They can also carry heavy loads and withstand rain and sun. Not all families have the privilege to own a mule or donkey and finding them isn't always easy. The danger of riding a mule in the mountains is that the mule can fall of the side but it is the fastest and most efficient way.

Life in Morocco

Since I have never lived anywhere else except my home country, I will talk to you about it. Rabat, Morocco is a very pretty country with a lot of green and nature. The Atlas Mountains are a nice place to go hiking or camping. Rabat and Fez are both places with nature, and modern things at the same time. A good place for fishing , hunting, and boating is Essaouira. There aren’t many people and there is the ocean. Ifrane is a place up in the mountains which is excellent for going skiing, snowboarding, fishing, or just visiting. There are also very busy towns such as Casablanca. In the summer, it gets really hot and sometimes reaches 48 Celsius. In the winter it gets as cold as 2 Celsius. People in Morocco use many animals such as camels, mules, donkeys, and horses. There is the Chellah which was a sort of structure left by the Romans. The majority of Morocco is Muslim since the Arabs spread their Religion. Since I travel a lot, I have had the opportunity to see new countries, cities, or villages. Morocco is indeed very different in many ways from other places   I like Morocco a lot and it is a great place.

Me

About Myself

My name is Hadi and I attend the Rabat American School. I am the kind of person who stays hours in front of the computer. I love cats and almost all creatures (except cockroaches and other nasty insects). I live in Morocco and I love traveling to outside countries. I also travel in my country. I especially like going to the desert or the beach. A few weeks ago, we went to Week Without Walls in the mountains. It was very fun and we learned a lot of new things.
