Faces & Stories, energy entrepreneur in Morocco
Faces and Stories at giz.de:
By the year 2020, Morocco aims to meet more than 40 per cent of its domestic energy needs from renewable sources and to create jobs in the field of energy-efficiency. As part of the Special Initiative MENA North Africa/Middle East by Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), GIZ is assisting Morocco to modernise energy use in the country's mosques. The plan is to green 100 hundred mosques by the end of 2016, and to raise the environmental awareness of more than 300 imams. For GIZ, this also means working with Moroccan entrepreneurs, like the young Yassine Alj – with great results!

⇢ (Berber: Tinmel or Tin Mal, Arabic: تينمل)The Tin Mal Mosque is a mosque located in the High Atlas mountains of North Africa. It was built in 1156 to commemorate the founder of the Almohad dynasty, Mohamed Ibn Tumart. The edifice is one of the two mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslims, the other being the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca. The prototype for the Tin Mal mosque was the Great Mosque of Taza, also built by Abd al-Mu'min. The Koutoubia in Marrakech was in its turn modelled on it.

Marrakesh''s riads hit by downturn in the economy

At the moment you could say that sales have stagnated. There are fewer sales. The prices in the medina haven''t gone down much because people are aware that they''ve got a piece of our architectural history in their hands. It''s not like that outside the medina where prices have really gone down.

In the early 90s when this attraction to riads happened it was especially the French who came here, because of the language and all that it was easier for them. So they came here and bought lots of riads from Moroccans who didn''t have enough money to restore them and to maintain them. I don''t think all of them wanted, I their hearts, to sell their family house but in a way they were obliged.

If the boom is over, it''s not really a problem because it will help people to come back to Morocco even if they don''t come to buy and make a profit off riads. They will come at least to stay in a riad because all the French people and foreign people who came and bought riads here they refurbished them as a guest house.

10 years ago when I and other Europeans decided to buy houses here, we had money that couldn''t purchase the equivalent in Europe. So we spent it here on places that were for sale. This allowed the Moroccans living here to afford new houses outside the old town and to change their old way of life for something new. I call this swapping values.

There are too many riads at the moment in Marrakech - compared with demand. There''s also other types of accommodation - hotels and apartments. The problem is that there are a lot of riads on sale. The word is that there are 200 on sale in the medina. With an oversupply sales have now almost come to a standstill.
26. Various of a riad bathroom

LEADIN:
Riads, the family courtyard houses that were built within the old city, or medina of Marrakech, were in great demand during the 1990s and early 2000s.
Foreign buyers snapped up these traditional homes at low prices and did them up.

MESMERISING MOROCCO!
Visiting Morocco is a once in a lifetime experience!
It is like a magic carpet, full of diverse landscapes, exotic combinations of colors, of ancient medinas, buildings with stunningly geometrical Berber designs, cultural experiences which have been preserved over centuries, incredibly hospitable people who make even first time visitors feel as if they are coming home after a long voyage. A place where even your eyes & nose look forward to your next meal, not just your taste-buds. A taste of the regal life in the artistically designed riads, waking up looking at magical brass lamps, rooms with multihued curtains, pottery and carpets! Not only is Morocco a photographer’s paradise, but also a shopper’s paradise, where you feel like buying everything!
Marrakesh is like the “celebration of humanity”. Hundreds of people have been gathering every day of the year for past few centuries at Djemaa el Fna, and are being entertained by countless number of storytellers, fortune tellers, dancers, actors, merchants, snake charmers, orange juice sellers, the famous Gnaouas and more. The Square is surrounded by souks or shops selling everything you need and could possibly want. From carpets, to jewellery, to decorative plates, to brass lamps, to colorful leather items, right down to daily household items.
Fez with its wonderful medina, is a place to get lost. It is quite aptly considered the cultural and the religious capital of Morocco. It is a place to admire the hard work in tanneries, smell and feel the colorful leather combinations. Also to visit pottery workshops and see firsthand the intricate process of making mosaic tiled designs.
Tangier is a melting pot of various influences from all over the world, made richer over the centuries by travelers, artists, immigrants who visited, got sucked into the experience and also have kept it vibrant.
Chefchouen has the ‘boutique’ medina of Morocco. Not only the houses, but even the streets here are painted in white and bright blue color. An early morning stroll around the kasba is like walking in a magical fairyland.
Casablanca, is the most populous city and Morocco’s commercial capital and looks like one. The stunning Hasan II mosque makes you realize that you don’t need to travel far in history to find beautiful architecture. With its exquisite wood carvings, delightful colours, picturesque location its a fine example of how we can turn our imagination into reality.
Rabat, the capital city is very welcoming, has great palaces on display, ancient kasbah to explore, the kings mousoleum and the ‘Chellah’, the ancient Roman ruins.
Towns of Erfoud and Fiquig offer flavor of Saharan desert, with camel safari experiences. A experience not to be missed in Erfoud are the several fossils museums where fossils from upto 600 million years ago are displayed. These fossils are collected from the nearby desert and are thought to be formed at a time when the western Sahara was under water!
Essouira is a beautiful coastal city, away from the urban noise, has a simple and beautiful medina, has some charming art galleries displaying contemporary designs of various artworks.
If all this is not enough…. Meknes has great architectural heritage on display in its medina, ancient granaries, beautiful mausoleum and palaces. Volubilis, near Meknes, is the biggest archaeological site in Morocco. It has some well preserved mosaics, columns and statues from the Roman period. In Ouarzazate, one visit to the studios and you’ll be convinced why it has become such a great spot for film production. In Dades, Todra and Ziz valleys, you can truly experience the “oasis” and walk among the apple, pomegranate and date palm orchards.

Morocco: Rabat - Hassan Tower
HASSAN TOWER
In the 12th century, Moroccan Sultan Abu Yousif Yaqoub al-Mansour, third Almohad Caliph (1160-1199) (known in the history as great Berber builder king like Shah Jahan of Moghul Dynasty) decided to build the biggest mosque in the world, with the biggest tower in 1195. The work on the project started in full swing but unfortunately he died in 1199 at the age of 39 and the works were stopped, with the tower reaching 44 of its planned 86 meters high. Great Lisbon Earthquake (1755 AD) damaged the started columns and walls, but the tower resisted and stands tilltodate. The adjacent mosque was destroyed by another earthquake and only a few re-erected pillars stand today. Instead of stairs, ramps were constructed in the tower to enable the muezzin to go on the top of tower riding on a horse to call for Muslim prayer. The tower is made of red stone. The esplanade on which the tower stands also contains a beautiful baradarri and magnificent mausoleum of King Mohammad V.

Morocco: Old city of Taza haut
Taza is a city in northern Morocco, about 100 km east of Fez. It has a population of 139,686 (2004 census) and is the capital of Taza Province. Visit Morocco
Taza city, north-central Morocco. Located south of the Rif Mountains, the city is composed of two formerly separate towns built on separate terraces overlooking a mountain valley. The old town (medina) is at an elevation of 1,919 feet (585 m) above sea level and is surrounded by fortifications; the newer town, established by the French in 1920, is located in a fertile plain at an elevation of 1,460 feet (445 m). Fossil remains indicate that caves in the area were inhabited as early as the Paleolithic Period.
The city is located in a mountain pass known as the Taza Gap, through which successive waves of invaders moved westward onto the Atlantic coastal plains of northwestern Africa. Taza was founded by Miknasa Berbers (approximately at the time of the late 7th century Arab Muslim conquest), who gave allegiance to the Idrisids in 790 and later joined with the Fatimids of Kairouan. The Almoravids took over Taza in 1074 and were replaced by the Almohads in 1132. In 1248 the city was captured by the Marinids. Although Taza barred the route of Turks from Algiers seeking conquest in what is now Morocco, it fell to the French in 1914. The medina houses barbican monuments, mosques, and a 14th-century madrasah (school). Population in 1982 stood at 77,216. Population now estimated about 160,000.
The old town's main thoroughfare is enlivened by the Grain Market and the Souks where wickerwork, tapestries, jewellery, and a great variety of Berber handiwork from the mountains are offered for sale. The road terminates at a square doubling as a parade ground which sports the Al-Andalous Mosque. The Mosque's minaret, constructed in the 14th century, is wider at the top than at its base. Bab el-Qebbour Street crosses the Kissaria (covered marketplace), then leads on to the Market Mosque where it meets up with Bab Jamaa gate, the main point of entry of Taza. Somewhat further south, across from Bab el-Rih, the Wind Gate, a bastion dating from the 16th century closes the ring around the kasbah. Taza's city walls, raised in the 12th century and frequently enlarged on later occasions were equipped with a Borj or fortified tower 26 metres (85 ft) wide at the base by the Saadi Ahmed el-Mansour in the 16th century. The gate with iron grate and the casemates with terraced roofs are clearly influenced by European military architecture of the time. or visit us also at

Affordable sheep prices ahead of Eid
(20 Aug 2018) LEADIN:
There's good news for Moroccans as sheep prices are affordable in the run up to this year's Eid al-Adha.
And vendors selling other holiday goods are also doing brisk business.
STORYLINE:
A huge sheep market has opened in Tangier.
Covering more than four hectares, it brings together traders from lots of different Moroccan cities and villages.
They've come to sell their animals as people look for their Eid al-Adha sacrifices.
Heavy rainfall in Morocco has been good for sheep farmers - it has kept costs down and they can now sell at affordable prices.
Depending on the breed, they are going for 50 to 55 Moroccan dirham (5-5.5 US dollars) per animal.
Yassine Hanifa is inspecting the sheep for sale.
While the price fluctuates from year to year, today he's happy with the costs. And the yellow tag on this animal's ear reassures him that it's a good purchase.
Today, I managed to buy a sheep for a good price. I noticed that the sheep this year have a yellow sign on their ears which means they are good quality, so that's a good gesture from the Ministry of Health, he says.
The Ministry of Agriculture has introduced new procedures to protect public health.
The programme includes numbering sheep and goats and opening temporary markets where only these animals can be sold.
There are also controls over the feeding of the animals.
And the National Office of Sanitary Security has decided that every sheep and goat vendor must be registered at their offices so that they can have the right to sell.
This decision was taken to avoid a repeat of last year, when the meat of several sheep begin to rot within a few days.
Abdelkhalek Samadi lives in Belgium but has come home for Eid al-Adha.
The festivities of Eid in Morocco are totally different to those abroad, and that's because abroad there are many laws that make the Eid too difficult to celebrate for any Moroccan or Muslims in general, he says.
While sheep and goats are one of the biggest purchases for this holiday, there are plenty of opportunities for other traders too.
Coal for cooking, grills and hay to feed the animals are in high demand.
In Rabat, Adil is doing brisk business with his bales.
It's a great opportunity to sell everything to so with this Eid and all that people need, like black coal, hay, grills, and all the other little things needed, he says.
And to cook the most delicious sheep dish, Moroccans need to buy the right spices and dried fruits.
Hayat is shopping for the ingredients right now. She will need them for tagines she plans to make.
We buy spices and also dried fruits especially dried apricots, dried raisins and dried plums, she says.
And why not add some new cooking equipment to the shopping list?
Opposite the sheep market in Tangier, there are grills, braziers, skewers and knives on sale.
Even the people who already have all these things prefer to buy new ones on the occasion of the Eid, says vendor Bilal.
There are plenty of animals available to feed Morocco this Eid.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Rural Development and Water and Forests estimates 8.1 million are for sale but that only around 5.45 million is needed.
On offer across the country are 4.6 million male sheep, 1.38 million female sheep and 2.1 million goats.
All Moroccans need to decide is which they want on their holiday menu.

Delicious kebabs on sale on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr
A man selling spicy and tasty kebabs on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr near the market of Jama Masjid, Delhi.
Eid al-Fitr also called Feast of Breaking the Fast, the Sugar Feast, Bayram (Bajram), the Sweet Festival and the Lesser Eid, is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting (sawm). The religious Eid is a single day during which Muslims are not permitted to fast. The holiday celebrates the conclusion of the 29 or 30 days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadan. The day of Eid, therefore, falls on the first day of the month of Shawwal. This is a day when Muslims around the world show a common goal of unity. The date for the start of any lunar Hijri month varies based on the observation of new moon by local religious authorities, so the exact day of celebration varies by locality. However, in most countries, it is generally celebrated on the same day as Saudi Arabia.
Eid al-Fitr has a particular Salat (Islamic prayer) consisting of two Rakats (units) and generally offered in an open field or large hall. It may be performed only in congregation (Jama’at) and, has an additional extra six Takbirs (raising of the hands to the ears while saying Allāhu Akbar, literally God is greatest), three of them in the beginning of the first raka'ah and three of them just before Ruku' in the second raka'ah in the Hanafi school of Sunni Islam. Other Sunni schools usually have twelve Takbirs, seven in the first, and five at the beginning of the second raka'ah. This Eid al-Fitr salat is, depending on which juristic opinion is followed, Fard (obligatory), Mustahabb (strongly recommended, just short of obligatory) or mandoob (preferable).
Muslims believe that they are commanded by Allah, as mentioned in the Quran, to continue their fast until the last day of Ramadan and pay the Zakat and fitra before offering the Eid prayers.
The Masjid-i Jahan-Numa commonly known as the Jama Masjid of Delhi, is the principal mosque of Old Delhi in India. Commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, it is the largest and best-known mosque in India. Construction began in 1650 and was completed in 1656. It lies at the beginning of the Chawri Bazar Road, a very busy central street of Old Delhi. The later name, Jama Masjid, refers to the weekly Friday noon congregation prayers of Muslims, Jummah, which are usually done in a mosque, the congregational mosque or jāma masjid. The courtyard of the mosque can hold up to twenty-five thousand worshippers. The mosque also houses several relics in a closet in the north gate, including an antique copy of the Qur'an written on deer skin.
