The country of contrasts
MOROCCO!!!
The country of contrasts
In Africa and only here, there is a country that gathers all the contradictions, combining the culture of the Arab Islamic countries, with the original mother culture, the culture of the Amazigh people, which represents the indigenous population, with their language and features, and their traditions mixed with the ancient Islamic component, as Islam’s presence in the region extends to the first centuries For the Islamic extension. All of the Moroccan people are Arabs and Berbers are Muslims who follow the Sunni Maliki school of thought, except for a few thousand Jews or what we vow of other affiliations that are hardly beyond the fingers of the hand. Morocco is a country that preserved its peculiarity for many centuries, until the beginning of the twentieth century, when the hands of European colonialism extended to a mechanism to give it another kind of difference due to its great proximity to the southern bank of Europe, which exchanged influence since ancient history and still is, this influence that was reciprocated from time immemorial. Whereas, the strait, the Strait of Gibraltar was always an African-European passage through which Africans crossed to Europe to spread Islamic culture and the Arabic language, and before that through the Romans and the Vandals to spread European culture and Catholic beliefs, and so the wheel of history turned in extension and A lasting influence between the two banks, reaching in the twentieth century, the century of modern colonialism, in which Europe tried to restore the glories of the Roman Empire. Thus, changes were added to the original Islamic Moroccan culture, especially in major cities, such as Tangier, Rabat, Casablanca, Marrakesh, Meknes and Fez. Cities you pass by and make you live in an unparalleled blending and disconnection, a brilliant advanced present, luxurious western European-style streets, and ancient neighborhoods deeply steeped in history, narrow alleys and ancient buildings, and their medieval architecture distinct from the dark history of Europe. Fortified cities make you travel in the depths of history, fragrant with charming aromatic scents, delicious traditional foods, with many wonderful traditional artifacts, crossing the middle of the crowd and the perpetual movement that never ceases. It is a real integration and a beautiful smooth opposition at the same time.
This is Morocco, a country that allows its visitor to get acquainted closely and closely with the culture of North Africa and the Islamic world without losing the sense of the very great divergence between cultures, you must feel that you are in another different country However, it will not lead you to feel a serious conflict and momentum between the two cultures.
