Morocco; day to day life


Taken on a beach in Agadir. The camels were brought around strictly as a novelty for tourists, you could pay for a ride on one but you would need to be able to bear the smell... He hassled me for a while to have a go but I decided not to, mainly because he was so annoying


Waiting for the school bus by the side of the road...  The school uniforms seemed to consist of a simple white tunic worn over regular clothes, no bottle green or ugly school crests in sight.


The above photo was a drive by shot, taken on the road to Essaouira. The contrast between the old man and his donkey and the shiny modern car in the background just highlights the changes taking place throughout Morrocco. Western countries are so quick to change, but countries like these have the pride to hold onto their traditions.
The men in the background sitting in the shade of the tree was another common sight, as unemployment is everywhere so the males have nothing to do all day but sit by the side of the road.
