Our Berber tent village in the Sahara desert
Inside our Berber tent village. Each tent has a full bed, and a light that is powered by solar power which is quite expensive but they said the tourists bring in so much money they want to keep the wonderful experience for them. They also have a kitchen, also solar powered, where they made us Tagine chicken with tea. There are also rugs covering all of the sand.
This is our CCS group minus 4.
We went in 2 groups, each with a person leading the camels. The camels were all tied together.
This is how we all got on the camels.
The CCS group sitting outside the Mosque Hassann II in Casablanca on Tuesday, June 10 after placement. This is the only mosque in Morocco that will allow tours throughout the day. Most of it was blocked off but they shared a lot of information with us. The boy in the back kept sneaking up to our group and sitting by us.
The ceiling of the mosque which slides open from the middle for days that are nice as there is no air conditioning.
The Mosque Hassann II. It will hold 5,000 women upstairs and 20,000 men downstairs. Women are able to pray at home as they stay home to cook and take care of the kids.
Outside of the mosque.
Rick's Cafe from the movie "Casablanca." It opened at 6:30 pm, and we were there at 4:30 so we were not able to go in and eat.
The baths in the mosque as the people have to clean their hands, face, wrist to elbow and feet 3 times each before their daily prayer. This was for the women and the men went to a different room with the exact same set up.
I have many more pictures on facebook if you have access to those.
