Berber Village visit

This afternoon we drove south to the very pretty Ourika Gorge in the Atlas mountains to see a Berber village. The foothills were dotted with red clay villages which merged into the landscape. The Berbers were the first inhabitants of NW Africa and originated in Central Asia The word 'Berber' came from the word 'barbar' and the north coast here is the Barbary Coast.The Berber home was primitive but comfortable and they served us mint tea and a sort of flat bread with honey. I find the mint tea a very refreshing drink. The motorbike boys who were selling jewellery followed us all afternoon and hassled us at every stop! There were also camel men on several corners trying to tempt us to ride a camel.
