Ahmed El Bidaoui was a talented musician and singer who has been widely credited with being one of the pioneers of modern Moroccan music. His music is often associated with the Independence of Morocco in 1956, because it was at this time of strong nationalistic sentiments that he began to be recognized for his musical talent, with his lyrics striking a responsive chord in the hearts of many Moroccans.
The proposed Tafedna Bay 5-Star Golf, Marina and Spa Resort situated near Agadir on the Atlantic Coast of Morocco offers visiting tourists, as well as Moroccan holiday-makers a total holiday experience in one incredible location.
The village of Tamnougalt in the Draa River Valley of Morocco at one time served as a hub for Saharan import and export trade which was controlled by an influential group of families who also collected taxes from local agriculturists and small industries. The name Tamngougalt means “meeting point” in the Tachelhit dialect of Tamazight languages and a meeting point is exactly what this village was in the past. Today, however, Tamnougalt is a sleepy village and an interesting tourist attraction that boasts an impressive Kasbah and many other fascinating structures.
As the gentle sounds of the piano fill the air, smiling waiters chat to diners and see new customers to selected tables, amidst the oriental screens and palms of the dimly lit restaurant, one cannot help but glance over at the wooden bar in anticipation of seeing Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart having a drink together. This is not too much of a farfetched thought after walking into Rick’s Café, which has been replicated to the finest detail to resemble the Rick’s Café from the legendary movie, “Casablanca”.
At one point in its history, Morocco was home to around 300,000 Jews and many Moroccans continue to embrace their Judeo-Moroccan heritage, as is evident by the hundreds of Jewish pilgrims who recently gathered in the Moroccan coastal town of Safi and were welcomed by local Muslims. With religious tensions reaching fever pitch in Jerusalem and other areas, this attitude of tolerance and acceptance, with Muslims and Jews praying together, is something out of the ordinary.
