MOROCCO - between modernity and tradition by Klaus Metzger (free reads TXT) 📕

The Berber House

After our guide (around 11 clock 30) Jutta and I visited alone the Berber house. I do not impressive was (a conglomeration of old and new decorative items - I had a museum expected) and really wanted to go back because Jutta found a small, beautiful carpet, which she downloaded was about 1,600 to 800 dirhams (about 80 euros). Now, this keepsake adorns my office.

A special event that should complement our image of Arab Morocco still, was the visit of the  "Turkish bath" (hamam). It is a tradition for us to visit the hamam in Arab countries. Only in Turkey but we had this opportunity so far. There you can visit the hammam together - but there is also the "Arab Dress Code " means the genitals remain with towels throughout the procedure covered.

In the Hamam of the "Agadir Beach Club Hotel" all this was not possible: we had to separately visit the relatively small Haman. My session began at 10 clock and ended an hour later. The scrub was excellent. Strong masseuse was proud that they " scratch tracks" was able to show me my skin small. The face was not spared. In the afternoon the women were allowed in the hamam. Jutta's shift started by 15 clock. At 16 clock we met again at the fitness center. And then the hour massage began: Jutta with a wife and I with a man (and in separate rooms). Another experience that leaves us better understand the Arabic traditions!
