Berber women summary

Berber women are fascinating people who have an interesting life. Everything about them is worth preserving : their daily life, clothing, jewelry and finally their marriages.

A berber women's daily life is very busy and demands a lot of work. It isn't like most women's usual daily life , and that is one thing that shows that they are important people. Like other women they have to take care of their children and cook for their families. But unlike most, besides the chores they have to do at home, they have to either work in fields, granaries or orchards.

Almost all berber women wear the same types of clothing. During the day they would either wear a colorful skirt with a shirt or a kaftan. Women also wear scarves over their heads. It is nice that most wear the kaftan, because it is like a tradition that everyone follows. Kaftans are also very nice outfits that have beautiful beaded patterns in them.

Berber women have a very unique way of wearing their jewelry. They have plenty of jewelry that wear worn for different occasions and by different types of people. The Hand of Fatima is a common jewelry that many people know about. It was worn for luck by many women but the women that were wealthy wore it with a sliver one. However a village women who carries a heavy load of firewood would wear silver chain with old coins . A women that works in a factory would wear rings, bracelets and earrings.

Marriage in the berber culture happens differently. Most of the time it is the family that arranges the marriages. The age limits for a bride to be when she get married is 16 but the brides are usually 14 or 15 when they get married. However, the men are usually way older then they are. After the marriage the new married couple usually moves in a lot with the family of the men.

In conclusion, even though the berbers have a very different life style, I still believe that it is important to preserve there culture, simply because their believes and traditions are also used by other people that are not berber, and so that proves that they are an important culture.

Berbers

Berbers are very fascinating people who have a very inspiring culture and believe there is a way to do everything. Berber women are very different then the men in many ways becuase they have a different life mode and do different things. They believe women should wear something on top of there heads. Men can also wear things on there head, but unlike women they are not obliged to. Women spend most of their days at home making pottery, weaving, making the food, and also doing chores at home.

Berbers dont only have traditions for women, they also have traditions for food. They have a special way of cooking their food and eating it. The Berbers speciality is the couscous, tagines, and meat. The meat is usually served last and is served by the host of the house. The berbers eat with their right hand becuase they use their left for the bathroom. Although the Berbers have a very different culture then most people, they still have a very inspiring culture.

Weather in Morocco

I have lived in Morocco all my life. I am a moroccan citizen who likes living in Morocco because of the weather which is hot in summer and col during the winter. To me the weather is important because I wouldn't like to live in a place where the whole year it only rains or in a place where it's sunny and hot during the whole year.

In Morocco there are many warm cities, but there are also many cold cities, so what is good about living here is that if we want a city with hot weather, the we go to one of the hot cities such as Marrakech, and if we want a cold city where it snows, then we can go to Ifrane or Loukaindin. Rabat and Casablanca are nice cities to live in because of its hot and cold weather, that is never too hot or too cold. The weather in Morocco varies but it is still enjoyable.

Welcome to my blog

After a week of research on the Berbers, I am starting to think that they are one of the most fascinating people in Morocco, but they are not the only interesting people. In our Moroccan study course we are learning about the Berbers that live in Morocco and their inspiring culture. We will also be learning about dynasties and other people from Morocco and their origins and traditions.
