A Berber family in the Ait Mizane tribe in the High Atlas mountains of Morocco. You can see that the man in the center and his wife on your right, are wearing traditional clothing. The man is earing a man's purse, or shkara, across his chest. The woman on your left is wearing a sweater; in fact it is a UCLA sweater! How did this happen? The people of Imlil are well located to take advantage of foreign hikers who want, for adventure and the challenges the mountains present, to climb in the High Atlas mountains. So it is that many foreigners come to this valley, where the road ends, and hire guides for their trek. The woman's husband, who is not in the image, must have been with some California hikers at some point. |
