What I learned about the Berber Culture

The Berber Culture


The Berbers are not like Rabat's citizens, they don't need all the things we live with... They can build houses and make bread by themselves. Also, they don't have the same habits that we have. In the morning, we wake up, we eat a breakfast and we go to school. What the Berbers do is they wake up, very early in the morning and they go to work on the lands. Berbers in the High Atlas Mountains have a difficult life because, some of them don't have the resources we have. Some of the Berbers don't have electricity for example. When they don't have water, they go to the river and take water. Do we do that? No, we just turn the tap and we drink water. An other example, for transportation, most of the Berbers move by mules. In Rabat, most of the people move by cars.

That's why the Berber culture and our culture is different.

About the Week Without Walls trip

Berbers and interacting with Berber Culture

Wednesday, October 30th
The Mules

On Wednesday, we woke up at 7:30 a.m, we got dressed and went to the breakfast. I was very hungry this morning because I didn't eat Tuesday, I was sick.

After the breakfast, we had to take our bag and put them upstairs on the floor. We were ready to go ride the mules.

We spent a long time to walk at the place the mules were. When we arrived to that place, we had to wait for the Berbers give us our mules.

Each mules had one guide. My guide was nice, he knew how to control the mule and he did it really well.
