Berber culture
Culture is a very important aspect of life to the Berbers. The religion of most Berbers is Muslim. They enjoy the art very much and dancing and singing. They use donkeys, mules, and horses for transportation. The Berbers that we visited live in the High Atlas Mountains which is located outside from Marrakesh. Most Berbers live in a village where there is a mosque and the village or on the side of the mountain. Berbers depend on farming for food and trading. Also the animals play a very important part in getting food by farming. For instance cows provide Milk, butter, and cheese. The Berbers have a different style of dressing the men wear jelabas and the women where long robes.

Hey, Ahmed, I found this on Wikipedia...
ReplyDelete"Many Berbers call themselves some variant of the word Imazighen (singular: Amazigh), possibly meaning "free people" (the word has probably an ancient parallel in the Roman name for some of the Berbers, "Mazices")."
Cool huh. We are descendants of the free people!! We're free , we're free!
