GRAGA [07:08]
The "GRAGA MOUSEM" is an annual religious festival taking place in the wind-city Essaouira (Atlantic coast). It is the Muslim equivalent to the Jewish "HILULA". The feast commemorate a Muslim cleric believed was holly-man. As in every year, the Governor accompanied by his senior administration would launch the event by midday prayer (Dhuhr). When they're done, they will leave the place marking the beginning of public to pay their visit to the holy site.

Morocco The One ( part 1 ) [02:41]
these are some picture i took when i traveled tow years ago , I'm not a photograph but i love photography and i'm not good at it :( The Atlantic to the west, the Mediterranean to the north, wonderful beaches, four mountain ranges with cascading waterfalls, century old cedar forest, eternal snows, immense plains flowering with orange and almond blossom, rivers that lay out a carpet of greenery to the threshold of the desert and carve out the most spectacular gorges. From the Straits of Gibraltar to Mauritania, nature has made Morocco one of the most beautiful countries in the world, the country that is a feast of the senses.

The desert scenery alternated between the gray stony desert called hamada and the fields of sand dunes called ergs, overall some of the bleakest, most featureless landscape I've seen anywhere. The occasional stretches where the road ran along the seashore, though, revealed picturesque rocky bluffs and hid a number of photogenic shipwrecks. We had a truck lunch (one of those one roll, one slice of cheese, and one slice of turkey affairs that were so common with our group) in a gas station's parking lot near the military checkpoint into Western Sahara territory. There were only a few settlements south of that line, the largest being Laayoune, the territory's capital. Laayoune, however, looked like a ghost city that day, the streets almost completely deserted as people were home celebrating the Eid-Al-Fitr feast at Ramadan's end. The southern two-fifths or so of current Moroccan territory is also known as Western Sahara or sometimes Spanish Sahara because it was a Spanish colony into the 1970s. Upon Franco's death in 1975, Morocco and Mauritania both claimed part of the territory.
