Morocco


Lately, more and more intimate Moroccan in the heart of our society. Not only because of his belly dance or the name of the capital, Casablanca, used for a housing or the area around Jakarta. This kingdom located in the North African region has become one of the destination countries increasingly demand.
One who made Morocco famous belly dance, until the fever in various countries. There you can see it as part of a dinner at some local restaurants, outside the usual package tours.
More than just belly dancing, country located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean has a different charm, which makes us understand how diverse cultural and natural that God allowed for us humans.
After 18 hours flying from Jakarta to the city of Casablanca business, we immediately knew that in this kingdom we will enjoy food and drink differently. Kebab and hard toast is a lot of food presented. The meat used is the sheep, the more tender and low cholesterol. Eaten with warm herbal tea mint plus, it's good for extraordinary living below the temperature 7-23 degrees Celsius with the wind and the sun was shining brightly. So, the weather sweltering, but cold weather.
Their typical meal is starch, which is a complete diet consisting of carbohydrates (rice, bulgur, or other), meat (chicken, lamb, or beef) potatoes, carrots, cucumber, Oyong, and olives. Food items are arranged like a cone, cooked on the stove over low heat.
Morocco is known as the warehouse olive colored: green, black, yellow, purple, even paleness. With 10 dirhams (25.000) we can get a plastic bag ready to eat.
In addition to olive and almond producer, the country is a former French colony is also producer of argan and oranges. Wherever we go, the four plants will we find along the road, causing its own charm in the eyes of tourists.
Nature morocco really exotic. We are treated to a different scene in each region. There are green areas by argan garden, there is a yellow-orange by daisy, no color, red by land, others in black and blinding due to the hills of barren Sahara desert. But, we also find the atmosphere of Europe, there is even a snowy hill.
From Marrakech to Casablanca Settat lewart for example, a typical African landscape, barren, dry, hot, and almost did not find the house residents. The journey from Casablanca to Rabat, Meknes, Fez and more dominated by the green nature.
Each city has different characteristics. In Rabat, the capital of the kingdom, almost no life at night. Meknes is identical with the ancient heritage, such as Baba el Mansour gateway built in the 17th century. Ifrane city, where rich people live and go to school very much like Switzerland. Entering the city we almost forgot that it was in Africa.
Fez city called the Mecca of the West . Since the 11th century the city was inhabited by the Moors, Berber, Jewish, Negro, Turkey, and Christian citizens. This is where we see a city built in the 8th century, to 10,000 like maze of narrow alley that makes its inhabitants barely see the sun.
Without a guide, we can go but may not go out because almost all the same hallway. So ancient, narrow aisle, transport is a donkey.
Crafts can we take as a souvenir from Morocco is a carpet and tile, other than a scarf. Carpet industry is part of the country households berhawa cold. In every city we can find a carpet seller, such seller bedcover in Bali, who liked to hang them on the roadside.
Morocco also has a craft fabric, made from aloe vera fibers. Azrou villages in the region is producing handicrafts Benimelal Middle Atlas that so popular.
Ceramics was extraordinarily beautiful, unlike the Dutch and Chinese ceramics in the style and the combustion process. In Morocco, ceramic burned using olive husks that have taken the oil.
