Berber History
The Berbers, also called Amazigh, are the native people of North Africa, with a history going back over 4,000 years. Their culture has survived through many different empires, including the Egyptians, Romans, and Arabs, while keeping their own language, traditions, and way of life. Berbers have lived in the mountains, deserts, and plains of Morocco and beyond, working as farmers, traders, and nomads.
​
Throughout history, they have fought to protect their independence and land. Today, they proudly continue their traditions through festivals, music, art, and a strong community, keeping their ancient heritage alive.

The Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world, stretching across North Africa and covering much of Morocco. While often pictured as endless sand dunes, only a small part of the Sahara is sandy—most of it is made up of rocky plateaus, gravel plains, and dry riverbeds. The desert has a fascinating history, once being a green, fertile land thousands of years ago, with rivers, lakes, and rich wildlife. Over time, it became the dry, vast landscape we know today.
​
Despite its harsh conditions, the Sahara has been home to nomadic peoples like the Berbers for centuries. It has also served as an important crossroads for trade routes, connecting Africa to Europe and the Middle East. The desert’s striking beauty and rich history make it a place of mystery and wonder, where travelers can experience a timeless, untouched world.
