Transport in Morocco

In Morocco transport is always a big issue. There is no possibility of going on buses, your not even able to see which ones go where. The train is OK however it still could do with some changes and maybe more stops. The trains at the moment stop in single places, it would be nice to have a tram or a train to go around the actual city. In England, London where i lived before i came to Morocco it had a great transport system that although wasn’t cheap was A LOT more easier to use to get into the center of the city and places that are hard to drive to (for parking). I do however understand that the trains in Morocco are overground so it would be harder to fit them in between streets. London however has a underground train system and also a overground one too. Its bus system is also well planned out consisting of a chart and a bus stop which would tell you which buses stop there and where they are going to. Taxi’s in London are barely used due to how expensive they are. Here in Morocco however taxi’s are used as they are the only other way around the city other then car. But to be honest going in a taxi here in Morocco is really NOT a good choice. The cars are tiny and are literally falling apart, the drivers drive recklessly and its hard to believe that they are actually able to drive. Having other transport would be nice just for variety and because there is also a lot of traffic and having a train would help to get around. Although the transport in Morocco is quite chaotic there are loads of other great aspects that shapes Morocco to be a unique and different country.

Berbers in Morocco

Ive just spent five days in the High Atlas mountains of Morocco learning and experiencing the life of Berbers. I will be studying the Berbers this year in my course, and would like to share with you my knowledge about them. In my course we will be introduced to Berber customs, traditions, dynasties and tribes and other different aspects that make up the Berbers life. Berbers in my opinion are unique people that live in a complete different lifestyle from me and many others. I learn't many different topics on this trip which include: Berber education, Family life, Changes, Daily life, Year and Day, Buildings and Engineering, Agriculture and Animals. I will be talking about all of these topics and other information in this blog. We also compared our lives with the Berbers, as you would probably guess there were many differences however there were barely and similarities. I would like to help you get aware of this topic and learn more and understand more of how harshly Berber people live compared to how we live.
