As I said, quite a few films were shot here. Wikipedia has a list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...t_A%C3%AFt_Benhaddou Ouarzazate is the centre of Morocco's film industry. We actually visited one of the studios - but Ait-Ben-Haddou is far more interesting.

Excellent photos of a tradition I knew nothing about ! It's in events like weddings that we see how much our customs vary. In the UK there's an outcry - when a family of Asian origin return from vacation with their 13 year old daughter married to an older man. And legally not acceptable. I remember when I was kid, hearing stories of how English fathers were keen to get their daughters married off too. Tales from around 1900 I suppose!

A fascinating piece, Mac! Would you know if the custom continues, or whether or things have "modernized"? And I also share your nightmares of passing massive lorries on those narrow mountain roads.

I'm planning to go back to Marrakesh and 'beyond' for a 10 day photo shoot in October and will try to find out whether the Bride Fair still runs. The young girls resplendent in their rouged-cheek make up were so pretty and with their enormous amber beads were virtual "dolls" and I would love to go back and see it all again.

GarryRF raises an interesting point about how our perceptions change and differ on the age of "maturity." In Jewish tradition, a boy at 13 becomes an adult, and in older times could hold property and begin to form a family; today, the ceremony remains, but no one believes the boy has become a man. Louis XIII of France became king at 8; he assumed full power at 15, then the age of majority. His son, Louis XIV, followed the same path; at 15 he returned from exile during the revolt of the...

These goats were spotted by seesaw along the road to Essaouira last summer, leaping agilely into the trees to feed on the leaves.

Morocco: Sahara camp experience

Lestertheinvestor ·
We traveled through mountains and plains towards Tinghir and the Todra valley, seeing hundreds of small villages of the Berber people (nomads). We had a great opportunity to visit a women’s carpet cooperative, where they shear sheep, goats and camels, spin the wool, dye it, and then weave them into various rugs. (Erfoud fossil) (Desert Hennah Tattoos) There are amazing cliffs and mountains, several of which house fossils (Erfoud). Our guide, Aziz’s grandfather, was a fossil hunter, so this...

Falling off the camel must have been a rather traumatic experience. I remember that the ground does not merely seem to be a fair distance away when you sit up there - it actually IS quite a drop. I hope they found you a cool beer afterwards!
