Trust in Allah, but tie up your camel!

... could be as big as 10,000 camels! Women's carpet weaving co-ops are scattered along the route. We stopped at a couple and bought a very nice rug at the shop in Agna. It is a large, pile knot rug measuring at about 2.5m x 2m. Prices at these shops are fixed and the asking price was 1,750D, which is slightly over $200. The flat weave rug we purchased on our DIY day trip to Tangier three years ago was $700 after some very ...

"How much for this?" I ask.
"1,000 diraham each sir" (that's about $120).
"STOP STOP STOP STOP!!!!"
"no we only joke you"
Me - "how much?" again
"we give you good deal. Pretty women you have here"
"how much NOW!"
They continue to frantically paint their hands. Dorrie and Alta struggle to get free but these ...

... stay in villages or in caves in the mountains. The women work a maximum of 2 hours per day make the carpets. It was reiterated a few times that Berber carpets are “quality, not quantity.” And quality they are, one large carpet will take about 6 months to create, all from a mixture of lamb wool, camel wool and agave silk. The Berber did not try the hard sell at all, they were happy to just have the publicity. Of course, that did not stop our group from collectively spending ...
