This morning we went to a market in Tinerhir. We went to amazing Berber rug shop there. We learned about the different styles and techniques employed in the creation of Berber rugs, meeting and photographing the women weavers who made them. The colors and textures of the rugs were spectacular. Continuing on we stopped at “Fatima World,” where a funky lady named Fatima was selling her wares. On the way we also saw Berbers tending their sheep and camels, women swathed in dark haik, children walking home from school, and people selling rose necklaces (made of real roses). Turning off the main road, we entered the stunning Dades Gorge, filled with unusual red rock formations and fascinating villages and Kasbahs. We ate lunch there outdoors on the patio of a restaurant. The weather was perfect – spring like and breezy. After lunch we continued driving to our accommodations for the next two nights a renovated Kasbah hotel, Hotel Ben Moro, in Skoura.
