Tahir Shah on The Caliph's House [05:07]
If you've read The Caliph's House, you know that in 2004 I moved, along with my family, to Casablanca. This book is the story of our readjustment to living in Morocco. I wrote it because I wanted to show our post-9/11 world that Morocco is a very different place. It's a paradise land of good manners and tolerance, a place I am still so proud to make my home today.

Palais Bahia - Riad 144 Marrakech [01:20]
Riad 144 Marrakech can take you to any sight and make you discover the best of marrakech. In this video its PALAIS BAHIA Cette folie architecturale commandée en 1880 par le grand vizir était dictée par une obsession : éviter qu'épouses et concubines se croisent. Cette grande demeure ancienne est un labyrinthe architectural, et pour cause. Tout oeil averti relèvera la complexité de l'enchevêtrement de cours et de jardins tissés autour de 160 chambres, sur 8 hectares : l'architecte marocain de l'époque a dû résoudre un casse-tête diplomatique imposé par le grand vizir. Le puissant Ahmed Ben Moussa décida en effet de faire ériger ce palais pour sa maîtresse préférée, d'où le nom de la Bahia, «la belle». Il fallait y loger ses 4 épouses, ses 24 concubines, et leurs innombrables enfants... sans que ces dames ne s'aperçoivent jamais de leurs jardins respectifs ! Un défi dont la construction dura dix ans, réquisitionnant les meilleurs artisans du royaume et expropriant nombre de voisins mitoyens.

Goats in argan tree. [00:30]
Morocco. Traveling from Imlil to Taroudant. The tree the goats are in is an evergreen argan tree. It is found mostly only in Morocco. The tree reaches heights of 25-30 feet, and has a knobby, twisted trunk that allows for goat climbers. The goats climb the tree because they like to eat the fruit of the tree, which is similar to an olive. Which is all well and good. Goats in trees. Perfectly natural. Farmers actually follow the herds of goats as they move from tree to tree. Not because it is so strange to see goats in trees and the farmers like to point and stare, but because the fruit of the tree has a nut inside, which the goats can't digest, so they spit it up or excrete it which the farmers collect. The nut contains 1-3 kernels, which can be ground to make argan oil used in cooking and cosmetics. This oil has been collected by the people of the region for hundreds of years, but like many wild and useful things these days, the argan tree is slowly disappearing due to over-harvesting for the tree's wood and overgrazing by goats. As a result a group of people and organizations have banded together to try to save the tree. To do so one of the primary locations where the trees grow has been declared a biosphere preserve. It was also decided that by making the world aware of the oil, it's great taste and supposed anti-aging properties, would create a demand for it. However, the people who planned to market the oil could not envision people wanting to put an oil on their food ...
