"Day 3 - 25 Dec 2007" Billybull's photos around Meknes, Morocco [01:32]
A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Meknes, Morocco by TravelPod blogger Billybull titled "Day 3 - 25 Dec 2007" Billybull's travel blog entry: "Woke up to beautiful sunshine and it was just another day in Morocco, no celebrations of course. We drove to Chellah, on the outskirts of Rabat. This was once a prosperous Roman town and then transformed into a cemetery by the Mirinids, according to the tour info. To be honest, I wasn´t really looking forward to going there. Who wants to visit a cemetery on Christmas morning when you are on holiday I moaned. Well, I take it back - it was an amazing place and I wouldn´t have missed it for the world. The entrance gate was very impressive and we entered the site, walking through the gardens of wild flowers in glorious sunshine. I was so glad we had gone there early, before the hordes arrived. It was so peaceful and idyllic. Being Christmas Day, my phone was ringing with texts and calls so I switched it off, wanting to enjoy the serenity. As we walked, we could see the river and valley stretching out below. Part of this land is currently being developed by a consortium from Dubai to include hotels, entertainment, shops etc. It´s good news for the local economy but such a shame that it will spoil the natural view from this wonderful place. We were followed by a thin but vociferous feral cat and I remembered I had some cheese in my back pack which he devoured with relish. There were cats everywhere, lying on tombstones ...

It is also arguably one of the most important architectural treasures of contemporary UAE society - and one of the most beautiful in the world - initiated no less by the late president HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who is fondly thought of as the father of UAE. The Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque, popularly called Grand Mosque by local residents, is seen as a globally unifying landmark from its conception to completion, bringing together designers, features, materials and suppliers from nearly every corner of the globe: Italy, Germany, Morocco, India, Turkey, Iran, China, Greece and the UAE. The Mosques initial architectural design was Moroccan, but it evolved to include many global features, including exterior walls that are of traditional Turkish design. Natural materials were chosen for its design and construction, which include marble, stone, gold, semi-precious stones, crystals and ceramics. The Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque features 80 domes all decorated with white marble.

Olive press Traditional berber method *Morocco* 2010 / part 1 [04:48]
People have used olive presses since Greeks first began pressing olives over 5000 years ago.Extant Roman era olive presses survive to the present time, with a notable collection present at Volubilis in Morocco. An olive press works by applying pressure to olive paste to separate the liquid oil and vegetation water from the solid material. The oil and vegetation water are then separated by standard decantation. This basic method is still widely used today, and its still a valid way of producing high quality olive oil if adequate precautions are taken. First the olives are ground into an olive paste using large millstones. The olive paste generally stays under the stones for 30 to 40 minutes. This has three objectives: to guarantee that the olives are well ground to allow enough time for the olive drops to join to form the largest droplets of oil to allow the fruit enzymes to produce some of the oil aromas and taste Rarely, olive oil mills use a modern crushing method with a traditional press. After grinding, the olive paste is spread on fiber disks, which are stacked on top of each other, then placed into the press. Traditionally the disks were made of hemp or coconut fiber, but in modern times theyre made of synthetic fibers which are easier to clean and maintain. These disks are then put on a hydraulic piston, forming a pile. Pressure is applied on the disks, thus compacting the solid phase of the olive paste and percolating the liquid phases (oil and vegetation water ...
