Berber Culture

The Berber culture is very rich with there tradition like their clothing and cuisines. Their religion and beliefs and items and skills that have been passed down through the generations. First, some of their traditions are cooking traditional foods such as couscous, tajines, and also bread and olives are present at every meal. Next their clothing is usually very colorful. Men wear turbans and women wear scarfs. The Berbers religion is the religion of Islam. Skills such as crafting has been passed down through the generations. The berbers crafts jewelry and curios. There is much more to the Berber culture but these aspects are just the basics that form the culture.

Life on Two Sides of The World

I have lived on two sides of the world and both sides are some what the same but they are also different. Now I am living in the northern part of Africa in a fairly large country called Morocco but before I lived in Morocco I was living in the midwest part of The U.S.A. These two places are both extremely hot and can get very cold. They both have farms spread out around the country and use the same methods of irrigation. They also have some of the same geographic physical features.

The two countries are different in many ways. Some of the physical features are the same like fields and plains but most are not because in Morocco there are mountains, rolling hills, and the largest desert in the world, The Sahara Desert. Also the food is different because of the two cultures and areas in which the crops are being grown in. Clothing is different because of the cultures, traditions, regions, and religions of the two countries.

Living in Kansas was great but when I moved to Morocco the first month was hard trying to get used to the culture, religion, food, and language. After I adapted to all these things, life in Morocco was even better then when I was living in Kansas.

What's Going to be Happening Around Here

Hey,

I'm Adam, I am from the United States and I will be posting blogs about the Berbers in Morocco. Im currently going to an international school in Morocco and my task in this class is to research about the Berbers. I have lived in the U.S. and now I am living in Morocco. They are both fairly a like in many ways but they are also very different.

Welcome to my Blog on Berbers in Morocco

The Berbers are a tribe of people who were spread out from Egypt to the Atlantic Ocean. In 3000 b.c when the Arab conquest started they were pushed back to the atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert. For the past week and a half I have been studying and researching about the Berbers of the High Atlas Mountains. I have been studying about their way of life such as traditions, houses, religion, and cuisine. I then realized how different our lives are from theirs. I will be studying on the Berbers all year long. I will keep you posted and hopefully if you ever come to Morocco you will visit the Atlas Mountains and meet the Berbers for your selves.
