Sidi Ifni..Between sea, mountains and Great South!
Ocean city, Atlas, Sahara? Sidi Ifni is one of those sweet cocktails like Southern Moroccan known offer.
Nestled on a cliff, the last vestige of the foothills of the Anti Atlas, it dominates the green blue of the Atlantic Ocean which it derives its main resources.
A strategic enclave :
The Sidi Ifni region is the birthplace and stronghold of Aït Baamrane, powerful famous Berber confederation of tribes throughout the southern Morocco for its struggle in the 1930s against both French than Spanish invaders and during the war of Ifni ' la guerra olvidada Spanish in 1957/1958.
Granted to Spain by a Spanish-Moroccan Treaty of 1767 in order to create sardine fisheries development actually dates from 1934 when General Franco decided to make this enclave a strategic military base. Not until June 1969 to be finally qu'Ifni Moroccan and 2010 she releases the provincial supervisory Tiznit
A dispersed urban planning :
His Spanish years, it retains the colonial structure, a grid of streets and avenues leading to the central square oval, urban architecture whose buildings have kept the art deco style very popular in Spain of 1930.
The old cathedral converted into a tribunal, its presbytery became library, the old admiralty, lighthouse and many houses with trees and flowers gardens along the Mohammed V Avenue are always there to remind that time. Mecca of city life, instead Hassan II, former Plaza de España offers a splendid view of the ocean ...
Besides the eccentric port of the south side of the airport, Sidi Ifni, has two neighborhoods. One former around Hassan II Square where are concentrated most of the services and accommodations as well as the municipal market.
The other area is separated him about a good kilometer from the city center through the avenues and Houria El Al Quds. Here is particularly mail, the Grand Mosque and the public garden Annasr, restaurants, cafes as well as cyber always helpful.
Beaches and waves :
The main activity of Sidi Ifni is its harbor with traditional fishing. Sardines, sea bream, croakers are landed in the afternoon sparking great excitement around, the harbor to the market, then the city waking in the late afternoon.
Its mild winter climate, proximity to large and beautiful white sand beaches, interspersed with high ocher cliffs, natural arches and small coves friendly, Sidi Ifni are a popular destination for all kinds of tourists.
The huge and aptly named White Beach in the south, attracting more and more fans of seaside activities. It is facing the small island of El Gziral Lazgira on the beach, 10km north on the road to Mirleft, that surfers and windsurfers like to gather. This beach dressed natural arches created by ocean ebb and flow, is as much a place of rendezvous water, a privileged site or amateur anglers.
The last bastions of Atlas :
Its mountain side is very quickly felt as soon as you enter its hinterland. Anti Atlas to the Atlantic to the raging waves, delivers small mountains at low altitude. A semi arid environment already foreshadowing close regs Saharan while keeping the soul of these small traditional Berber villages perched on hillsides or hidden in tiny intimate valleys.
This is the gorge of Wadi Noun, the mouth generous hosts flamingos, turtles, herons who come hibernate or breed. A nice breath of fresh air in this canyon dotted with houses, almost steep sides, decorated with cultivated terraces. On a cliff overlooking the river, the old military fort French Bou Jerif always seems to watch over the tranquility of the surroundings.
Local products in vogue :
There are many such small hidden valleys whose fed argan oil is tasty one of the jewels of local cultures. Cacti, commonly the prickly pear cactus, are also part of the landscape pleasantly.
Of seed fruit, akneri Berber, much appreciated by the locals, is from a very fragrant oil, one of the main features is to be the most expensive oil in the world. Its development is long, meticulous and production quantities small. But its unique taste gives a special taste result and actually a very courted by the top chefs as Moroccan and foreign oil.
Small hidden Edens :
Many can be made daily incursions of Sidi Ifni drive to better understand these discrete locations in a surprising country back.
Tioughza village is located east of Sidi Ifni. The picturesque road along the coast a while before sinking in small mountains to get to this village they surround. Meandering always it then leads to Wadi Salogmad before joining Amellou and Mesti where the cooperative Tafyucht developing and promoting the products of the argan tree.
It's a little south of Ifni found locality Sbouya, home of the Berber tribe of the same name. Between sea and mountains is typically Presaharan in this locality that operated the prickly pear shrubs which are grown with pride and development in the Aknari cooperative.

Moroccan Food
Mediterranean diet :
Moroccan cuisine is known for being one of the best can be the North African equivalent of French cuisine. The specialties are many, from north to south, and the use of spices request expertly for the flavors to blend with none taking precedence over the other. Many dishes combine sweet and salty. Turista, this plague of the traveler tourist, may fire with a simple change of climate, or even habits .... One can also catch in European countries!
The food in Morocco is good, and Moroccans are for themselves a stickler for freshness and quality. What is natural, "Baldi," is very popular. The usual precautions (no fruit or vegetables unpeeled, and drink mineral water) will be enough to avoid it. In large cities, glaciers are as safe as their European counterparts, and their delicious products.
Diet is Mediterannean :
It includes lots of vegetables, meat, chicken, beef, also the goat, and even the hedgehog.
The pigeon and lamb are festive meats. Many salads, summer, he is useless to deny, because all the vegetables are carefully peeled (even tomatoes) and cut into small pieces. Fruit dessert (Morocco of oranges, sprinkled with a little cinnamon, are a delight) more often than pastries. Dates, too, fresh or dried olives and of course to nibble all day.
The Moroccan breakfast is hearty :
A real meal, with pancakes, or baghrir msamem, bread, cheese, olive oil, and in addition to the inevitable mint tea, coffee, milk often. Cheese is the Laughing Cow, found everywhere, even in the remotest corners. One can also have the Amlou, a paste made with almonds and argan oil.
Cooking is oil :
Fried fish and grilled rarely (it can be found everywhere, the inland cities are often serviced at least once a week, and on the coast it is a pleasure to eat at the port, as in Agadir) , grilled meats, often after being marinated the day before in spices and vinegar. Tagines, meat or fish, are cooked for a long time, the different ingredients added to progressively. The concept of rare meat does not exist, both by health and to respect the method of slaughter "halal" of Islam.
Water is increasingly drinking :
In large cities, Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, she is drinking. It may taste bad or chlorine, or because it passed through rock gems in the mountains. You can wash your teeth, but it is more pleasant to drink mineral water bottle, found in all the little shops. It costs between 5 and 10 dirhams per liter and a half, depending on whether you are buying from a retailer or restaurant. Rather drink bottled water (Sidi Ali, Sidi Harazem, ...) that source of water, it has less taste.
There are many sources in Morocco, usually water filtered by the mountains. We never had any problems with drinking, maybe we got lucky. Anyway, if you want to try the adventure, use directly at the source, and only if it was amménagée so they can not be polluted by animals.
Tea, "Berber whiskey" :
Green tea has been introduced in the Maghreb in 1830 only. He won everywhere, our local small black equivalent. He drinks flavored with mint, or wormwood (cheba) winter, or rosemary. Nature it is delicious. It will always be served hot, and very sweet.

Chellah! Ancien Roman City
Built on the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Sala Colonia, this necropolis called by the guides' most romantic Morocco Site "has not always had the passion it arouses today.
Away from the city, or rather out of the Almohad enclosure, located south along the marshes and the Bouregreg, the remains of the necropolis Mérinide thirteenth century were long, like the Tower Hassan, abandoned . This building destroyed by the earthquake of 1755 and stripped of his finest materials by looters, thus remained in ruins for hundreds of years.
This site is now listed and protected by the Moroccan authorities, who seized all the historical and tourist interest of this place like no other. Surrounded by encroaching urbanization, it is nevertheless clear of modern buildings and neighborhoods Youssoufia Souissi nearby that do not denature.
After having passed through the famous octagonal doing very well restored, the walls erected by Sultan Abu al-Hasan Ali, you descend along a nice paved road lined with various species of trees and fragrant flowers.
In the spring, the site in full bloom is simply magical.
At dusk, the scenery is spectacular or impressive, and we understand why this place raises mysteries and legends.

Moroccan music
Moroccan music is formed in the vast majority of the Amazigh music like reggada Rif chaabi Gharb and Atlas or the ahidous Souss. Then come the Andalusian music and Gnawa music. Arabic music has little presence in Morocco. However, there is a new generation of young people, which creates music that synthesizes the Moroccan spirit influences from around the world (blues, rock, metal, reggae, Moroccan rap, etc.).
Each genre and musical group consists of regional sub-groups, and is further divided between music "modern" and "traditional".
History :
In the twentieth century appears a classical music derived from the Arabic music produced by artists coming mainly from Egypt or Lebanon. This music sung in Arabic, is very uncommon in Morocco.
Moroccan song will grow with the country's independence in 1956. The major trends were immediately revealed with Berber music, Arabic and Darija (Arabic dialect).
In the 1970s, a new form of Moroccan pop music appears with urban musical groups like Nass El Ghiwane, Jil Jilala, Lemchaheb; it marks a revival in Moroccan music.
The early 1980s made known to a wider audience the phenomenon of the emergence of world music. This music (ethnic called) covers the pop music of the Third World and European pop music using the influences of traditional music of the Third World. This new phenomenon of music (fusion) will know the rhythms and particularly Moroccan Gnawa music world that many Moroccan musicians and performers introduce into their repertoire.
Since 1990, a new generation is developing a music in which the traditional Moroccan music is influenced by styles from around the world (blues, rock, metal, reggae etc.). This new generation sing using a mixed several languages: Darija, French, English and sometimes Spanish.
Types of Music :
- Berber Music
- The dakka marrakchia

Capital of the east of Morocco..Oujada!
Oujda is the capital of the east of Morocco. It is a border town with Algeria.
Itself is the earthly door of Morocco. It is built on the plain of Angad bordered by one of the most beautiful mountain regions of Morocco: the beni-Isnassen. This privileged location makes it a crossroads between Morocco and other countries of the Maghreb and North Africa on one hand and between Morocco and Europe via the other Nador.
Founded in 994 by Ziri Ben Attia chief of the tribe of Maghraoua (Zéèntes group of nomads), Oujda remained the capital of his kingdom for 80 years.
Arab historians relate that Ziri Ben Attia wanted to make a withdrawal from Oujda link in case of defeat, saying it was safer in the middle of a desert plain traversed by nomadic Zenetes at Fez or Tlemcen where the urban population was less attached to it.
Through this Ziri Ben Attia city would control a crossroads where cross caravans from the sea and those Sijilmassa uniting Tlemcen to Fez.
Oujda was therefore a knot of important commercial traffic at the crossroads of two major thoroughfares.
The dominance of Maghraoua only lasted eighty years. Oujda host then successively Almoravid and Almohad, who, in 1208, there arose a new fortification belt.
Later, the Meridians of Fez and Abdelouadites Tlemcen made it a challenge which resulted in its complete destruction in 1271 the king Mérinide Abou Youssef rebuilt the city by building a casbah, a palace, a mosque (Djamaa El Kebir) which still exists today.
Oujda was again ruined between 1335 and 1336 by Sultan Abu Hassan.
After 1336, the city built gradually, in 1679 the Alawite Sultan Moulay Ismail made some restoration of the main buildings of Oujda fell shortly after at the hands of structures which ended in 1795.
Between 1894 and 1896, an enclosure was built to protect the city, which then had the shape of an irregular polygon with an area of 28 hectares.
No changes should be made to its appearance until 1907, when the occupation of the city of Oujda by French troops on 29 March.
Three main gates gave access to the urban area to the east:
Bab Sidi Abdelouahab arched doorway flanked by two bastions, above which was the Maghzen hang the severed heads of the rebels hence the name "head gate"
North: Bab El Khemis. Medina comprised nine districts to different segments of the population Oujda (achegfane - ahl oujda - oulad amrane - ahl al jamel - Oulad el gadi - oulad Aîssa - the Jewish quarter)
Medina also included the neighborhood market (merchant and raking) and the district of the kasbah (offices maghzen)
Near Bab Sidi Abdelouahab, a souk MMOU market was held every Thursday, five hotels fondouk or three mosques Djamaâ El Kebir Djamaâ Heddada, Djamaa Sidi Okba) a madrasa or school, three synagogues.
In the gardens irrigated by seguias powered by sources of Sidi Yahia Benyounes, people were Oujda vegetable crops.
For safety reasons, the French military camp settled on a hill (572m) which at 900 meters south dominating the medina.
Around 1920 common interest constructions appear:
- Covered Arab market in the square of Bab Sidi Abdelouahab
- Slaughterhouses near the Kasba
- The Treasury building
- The Court of First Instance
- High school boys and the old college girls.
In 1910 the normal route of the railway was extended Marnia from Algeria to Oujda.
For technical reasons, the station was built three kilometers north of the medina (town koulouche) to 1920, appeared constructions of common interest. Covered Arab market in the square abdelouahab, a meadow of slaughterhouses kasbah, the building of the Treasury, the trial court, the boy from school and former college girls.
The construction of a new station, decided in 1928, due to the remoteness of the original station, helped to prevent any extension to the west of the city stopped on the east by the garden can only develop according a north-south axis.
Indeed, the constraints imposed on the topography the location of the station on the right bank of Oued-Nachef.

WALILI...VOLUBILIS
This is a Roman city located near the holy city of Moulay Idriss where is buried the founder of the dynasty Idrisside Idriss 1st. Walili is the Berber name of the city and which originated the flower of bindweed. The presence of oil press reflects intense commercial activity based on olive oil.
Source : moroccobiz
Excavations have shown the occupation of the site since the Neolithic era but its development will be launched at the second century before J-C. The kingdom of Mauretania was occupied by the Romans in 42 AD and it was only after the murder of Caligula that Volubilis became the capital of the Roman administration in Mauretania. The Roman occupation ended in 429 with the invasion of Vandals from Spain. The Islamization of the Maghreb began with the Abbasid who settled in 681 at Volubilis. Idriss first settled there in 789 after his flight from Baghdad to escape the Abbasid and the defeat of the Battle of Fakh.
Volubilis became Walila. Idriss II son of Idriss 1st founded the city of Fes in 818, what caused the decline of Volubilis. UNESCO declared this site as a universal heritage.
Today we can still admire the olive groves and fields of the remains of this Roman period:
- a forum
- Thermal baths
- A wall with 8 gates
- Rich mansions with mosaics
- The hulieries and bakeries
