good morning guys and welcome to a new video from i don't know where morocco you see what
happened was two days ago i took a bus over 10 hours from marrakech to southeast morocco close
to the algerian border on the edge of the sahara desert and for the last two days and for the next
couple days i'm living here in a town that is made completely of natural resources like soil
mud water and this is where the berber people live here in morocco the berber people have
their own language their own culture their own way of life and the berber people are spread
all throughout morocco algeria tunisia and other places in northern africa and to be honest i
had a lot of plans for this video but i think instead it's better if i just keep it super raw
and show you guys the honest truth of what it's like to live in a place like this because
i'm going to be honest it's not at all what i expected
i will show you guys around the town and try to show you guys how i'm living because it was a
real shock to me and coming up right here this is a classic wall of what many of the homes are like
and as you can see it looks kind of like mud and it's not overly sturdy
you see it kind of just comes right off i really want to show you guys where i'm
living the living quarters what it looks like so we're going to go do that now
this is the outside of the home i'm staying at this is what it looks like
and i'm gonna take you guys in now okay so entering the door and this is the
living quarter so this is where we would hang out play cards this is where we eat just have
a few cushions here one table and then this is a window to the outside this is the courtyard area
there are a few rooms here
this is the kitchen so here you have some pots
pans this is the one burner connected to the gas and this is for excess food and vegetables and
then there is a refrigerator here there's no sink though and then let me show you guys the bathroom
this is what the bathroom looks like this is a shower you have a bucket with water that's used
to flush the toilet this is the toilet and then as i mentioned there's no sink but this is where
i would use the bathroom brush my teeth and if i shower shower this is a little
outdoor area these are the bricks that is why i originally came here to help them make bricks
and these are the bricks they're made out of earth so like mud straw
water and they're used to help make additions to the home and then this is a little bread oven
so again made from similar stuff you can put the bread right in there light a fire and that's
that the main walls of the home here are made from both wood and then the same material as the bricks
so mud straw water soil but wood is the base essentially the earth the mud the soil is piled
on time over time again to make it really really strong and sturdy and the bricks they are not as
sturdy as having the wood base the wood frame so the bricks are just used as additional pieces to
the home like if you want to divide a room in half or if you want to build something a little
bit extra but not actually the framework of the home because it's not sturdy enough as you can see
a lot of the roof is made from different types of wood there are palm trees and a couple other trees
around and that's what a lot of the roof is made from now let me show you guys my room these are
the stairs so again stairs are made from wood as well as the earth so soil mud water
and then this is my room i have some carpet here and then i have my pillow and then a basic bed and
that's pretty much it there are a few windows here that
i can't see out of and it looks like they're made from uh wood um but then this material actually
looks a little bit like i don't know maybe some cement or something over the wood and mud frame
but that's essentially the home hope you guys like the tour three years for 40 years
we're on a little sunset walk and we came across some really good date trees
we know the guy who owns this tree he said we can take some
these are richer they're like rich like sweet sweet golden wow you can't have more if you want
so cool
i had no idea dates grow on a palm tree wow maybe it's just me i have never had a date
this good in my life oh my gosh we have more even better than this like they're textured
it's so hard to describe it's so rich and like almost a little bit creamy yeah wow so good
these are amazing
be careful a new date a different kind of date i had no idea there were so many kinds of dates
in my life
oh these are like slide off the seed good tender it's like a nice piece of meat it just comes
right off wow these are some good dates and they all have slightly different flavors but
all so so good wow we have some other some type of leaf herb vegetable not sure what the name is
it tastes so familiar but i can't put my finger on it it's a little bit like spinach
yeah but not quite pretty interesting
so we came back from our sunset walk and now we are making the moroccan
tagine the delicious tagine the vegetables potatoes super super good onions carrots
we're about to have dinner and we have a traditional moroccan dish the tagine ours
is a vegetable tagine with potatoes i'm so excited we have our tea here
and you want to try to pour it so that there are bubbles
because that means it's a good tea we got all the bread on the table
eating the tagine with bread as our utensils this is our tagine
ah it smells so good so in a quick change of plans we're going to the sahara desert today
so basically what's happened is i originally came here to this part of morocco to stay with the
family and learn about the berber culture and help them build a mud brick home or at least part of it
but unfortunately it's been raining a lot the past two days so we can't really work on the home so
instead i've taken a spontaneous day trip with my host who i'm staying with to the sahara desert so
today i'm going to be exploring the desert and i'm gonna be spending the night here
i'm super super excited to explore another part of morocco and this is just the beginning
so this is where we've pulled over to have a little lunch
so we're having a modified tagine today and this is the inside of where we're having
some lunch we have a bunch of vegetables potatoes chicken
and then we have our bread which is our utensils we're going to try yeah
the first bite so take a piece of bread
very tasty delicious yeah the lunch is finished we rested for a little bit after the tea
and we're gonna hop back on the bike and explore the sahara desert
behind this mountain here is algeria look at these views
so so beautiful the sahara desert is incredible
and this time headed to camp for the night
it's about 40 minutes before sunset so i am climbing to the tallest dune i can find to try
to see a beautiful sunset i know it's going to be beautiful you can already see it the clouds around
i think make it even better and just gotta hike to the top
oh it's so beautiful i'm so happy i came into the desert
gonna watch a beautiful sunset yeah
this is home for the night it is way nicer than i expected so i'm super excited about it i am
going to go stargaze and enjoy the bonfire outside and i'll catch up with you guys tomorrow morning
good morning guys you can see the moon is still out and then in about 30 minutes the sun
is gonna rise behind those dunes i don't always love waking up early but you never
regret a good sunrise and it's not every day you're in the sahara desert so i'm excited
