Located in the northwestern corner of the African Continent, Morocco is a country of mountains and deserts, whose shoreline extends Atlantic Ocean and ends in the Mediterranean Sea. The so-called country of the setting sun, it is the quintessence of Magreg(?) region of North Africa.
Human presents in Morocco dated in Polyliofic(?) age when Endfore(?) men entered Europe some one hundred fifty thousand years ago and North Africa was the home to lions and elephants and tropical climate. All moved on, ahead of advancing sea of sand, which has become the Sahara desert.
Morocco is a country of mountains, home to natural water reserves, oasis, valleys, the large valleys dig their ways to the ocean. The many mineral springs sources and water falls, as Oozoom, Oredea, make the mountains one of the most beautiful regions in Morocco.
From North to South, the mountains are called the Mid-Atlas, then the most imposing Up-Atlas Mountains, and finally, the Anti-Atlas, which is smaller, the home to the first Palm growth.
The search for water has always been Moroccan principal preoccupation. In a country the women gather where there is water for their washing.
The morocco populations compose of two principal peoples. Berber tribes were chased to the Anti-atlas mountains by the first conquers of Morocco, the Arabs in 681 AD. Today, Berbers are the most ancient ethnic group in Morocco, Dezinlas(?) live in the East of Morocco, and Sanhajas(?) in the mountains, the third most populous Berbers peoples, the Mumoodus(?), live through out Morocco.
There are two traditional plain dwellings, reconstruction newolas(?), and comas(?), low tents made of camel hair. Mountain populations have adapted to a more inclemental environment. The Cosba(?) is made of dry stones, a single room dwelling with only one entrance.
More important earth constructions are set in the atlas foot hills. Because of their oak color and varying tones of red, the Zar(?), fortified houses are often mistaken for the mountain summit which are surrounding them.
In towns and villages, markets are main attractions in Moroccan’s daily life. Farmers and breeders come to sell their goods.
In Morocco, agriculture is the principle occupations representing 55% of the population. Except several large industrial firms, Moroccan agriculture is marked by its meager technology means. Morocco market gardening production is varied, vegetables, food mint and few cereals.
