Argan oil woman's cooperative. [01:29]
Morocco. Traveling from Tafraout to Essaouira. We visited a woman's cooperative. Before modern times, the Berbers (also known as the Amazighs) of Morocco would collect undigested Argan pits from the waste of goats which climb the trees to eat their fruit. The pits were then ground and pressed to make the nutty oil used in cooking and cosmetics. However, the oil used in cosmetic and culinary products available for sale today has most likely been harvested directly from the tree and processed with machines. All argan sold today is produced by a women's cooperative that shares the profits among the local women of the Berber tribe. The cooperative has established an ecosystem reforestation project so that the supply of argan oil will not run out and the income that is currently supporting the women will not disappear. The money is providing health care and education to the local women, and supporting the entire community as a whole. The most labour intensive part of oil-extraction is removal of the soft pulp (used as animal feed) and the cracking by hand, between two stones, of the hard nut. The seeds are then removed and gently roasted. This roasting accounts for part of the oil's distinctive, nutty flavor. The traditional technique for oil extraction is to grind the roasted seeds to paste, with a little water, in a stone rotary quern. The paste is then squeezed between hands to extract the oil. The extracted paste is still oil-rich and is used as animal feed. Oil produced ...

Rabat, Morocco's Capital City - Sam's Exotic Travels of 2011 [06:50]
Rabat was my favorite of all Morocco cities visited. It combines many historical sites with modern buildings and train system - a clean city with friendly people. Definitely worth visiting. Here's some facts per Wikipedia: Rabat, literally "Fortified Place" is the capital and third largest city of the Kingdom of Morocco with a population of approximately 650000 (2010). It is also the capital of the Rabat-Salé-Zemmour-Zaer region. The city is located on the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the river Bou Regreg. On the facing shore of the river lies Salé, Rabat's bedroom community. Together with Temara the cities account for a combined metropolitan population of 1.8 million. Silting problems have diminished the Rabat's role as a port; however, Rabat and Salé still maintain important textile, food processing and construction industries. In addition, tourism and the presence of all foreign embassies in Morocco serve to make Rabat one of the most important cities in the country.

Clean Water Bugs! [00:22]
Residents of Mhamid in south eastern Morocco get their day to day water from bore holes, and many have water towers of one sort or another. Drinking water is sometimes from bottles, or a tanker delivery, or sometimes from the bore holes. Campsite owners asured us that the borehole water is fine to drink, but we decided to run things through a 50micron pre-filter before things even got as far as the camper tank and the subsequent filtration systems, or even using the water for clothes washing - good thing we did! What looks like sediment is actually bugs - look closely and you'll see the 'sediment' has a mind of its own. Then theres the bigger bugs, which you dont need to look closely for at all... This is the water we were told was fine for showering/washing up/clothes washing etc. Hmmm....
