Local Oujda Oriental news, Morocco

If you want to see complete exoticism and a parallel world, visit this place. 1000 crooked streets, over 1000 years old, a very colorful audience of all colors and robes, no signs of civilization - a real living creature. Admire the wooden and plaster tiles in Medressa. Visit the places where you color and wash your skin for $ 10 a day, feel this smell and every time someone complains that he has a boring and low-paying job - remember the work of tanners. Listen to those rhythmic African motifs. Try freshly squeezed juice of white pomegranates (only in a disposable glass) and peeled cactus fruits and I guarantee that you will remember this place for life

Medina of Fes

The largest in area and colorful medina. Here you will see the life of the city of the 14th and 9th centuries, the feeling that it has not changed since then. The medina of Fes is a revived museum of the 14th and 9th centuries. The dyeing districts - such you will not see anywhere! Weaver areas - you can order any item. The people in Fes are beautiful, mostly Berbers. They walked on their own everywhere. The most vivid impression of Morocco was received in this place.

Fez is a huge ancient city-market of artisans, which continues to live its own life. In addition to tourist facilities, people in different areas really live here, they have their own schools, hammams, bakeries and mosques. The city really consists of thousands of streets, streets and alleys, it seems to me that poking around here yourself, without a guide, is dangerous in the sense that you can calmly get lost and spend hours wandering around these mazes.

Here, a little more intrusive sellers than in other Moroccan medins and markets. This is especially true of purse merchants who literally divided the old city into separate zones and pursue groups in their area, keeping up and trying to suck in their goods. Although Fez is considered the most criminal city in Morocco, we did not feel this, on the contrary, one tourist from our group lagged behind us and the local people immediately told him how to find us. We did not go to a souvenir shop, a carpet shop (there was the most intrusive seller), then to a tannery - it must be visited.



This is a production where leather is made according to medieval technologies in a huge courtyard, where there is an unbearable smell and in terrible working conditions tanners process leather. There is a terrible stench and they all give out bunches of fragrant grass so that you can smell it and drown the stench. Alas, working in terrible conditions to make leather, then absolutely artisanal and low-grade products are sewn from this leather, which are sold here, but did not cause us any interest. Go to the medina of Fez is a must.

SOULSHINE OR THE DAY I LEARNED TO LOVE MYSELF

I have maintained the tradition of writing down to myself, my life lessons in every birthday celebration.

This time is special, I decided I would share with all of you how to embrace a new form of beauty, that I learned and have been one of my hardest struggles. Thanks to my life journey as a young woman, I now believe loving ourselves is the key to confidence, happiness and success, whether we are a woman or a man.

For almost a decade, I was able to track my feelings and my self-improvements over the years, it enabled me to have enough retreat and see myself as an extern viewer.

Holding such a skill has never been easy, I had to struggle with major self-love issues before I was able to finally embrace my own personality in a positive and unique way.

For many cultures around the globe, there are usually some beauty standards for women to follow in order to fit in, to be desired and accepted. I can’t say if is it a natural thing or is it a social heritage, but girls would naturally grow up following those standards, even when they tend to be unrealistic or don’t reflect their true self.

I recall being a kid, starring at the mirror, hating my nose, because someone told me it looked weird and different. As absurd as it may seem, this was my first step in a world of body shaming and insecurities.

I carried a bad self-image all my adolescence, and as a grown woman by cause of body shaming, to the point I can describe it as a vicious cycle; when you think you finally overcame an insecurity, it can take only an Instagram picture or a critic from a person you trust, to find yourself dragged again into another chase that may never end.

Taking into consideration that the mean goal of an industry is to seek constant profits, the concept of beauty has evolved to become an endless chase of money based on social trends, convincing every women of a new deformed concept of beauty, pushing them to seek an unrealistic image, taking advantage of their need of perfection. Thanks to celebrities, social media influencers and brand ambassadors, beauty trends have increased, letting us feel as we’re literally never going to be enough.

As a society, we have normalized the right to criticize and to bring down one another, the scary part is the normality of such an ugly behavior. It has even become a national sport and a common culture, where we feel comfortable bringing down others, because it would somehow make us handle better our own insecurities.

All of this social pressure can make us feel worthless, ugly and unwanted, no matter how many compliments we can earn, it won’t change the way we feel about ourselves, because our own conception of beauty was twisted to become so fragile and anything but realistic.

I would ask you to take a moment and to right down what prevents you from loving yourself, is it the shape of your body, your face features or your constant comparison with others? Is it the way you talk or the sound of your voice? Is it the way they describe you? Or is it simply your need to be truly seen?

Whatever you’ve chosen, it only means how much you undervalue yourself, reducing all your being into a very small fragment of the iceberg, that is you, how sad is that?

I’m not aiming to despise physical beauty, nor I’m trying to introduce a very consumed concept, which is inner beauty…. It’s not what I’m aspiring to offer you here, my vision is bigger than that….

My conception of beauty is something God has created and already has given us, but most of us failed to see it. Actually, we were predisposed to love ourselves according to our physical appearance depending on others approval, which is absurd because our physical beauty is not of our chosen, it’s God creation, so it can’t be overcame with some insane beauty trends, stated by the mirage of perfection.

My conception is more of a self-discovery when one can see and feel both his inner and physical beauty, which was hard to achieve because most of people would dissociate the two concepts and never stop to retreat and vision them as two faces of the same puzzle.

It will be a puzzle, until you can gather the two pieces together, to create your own being, your own era and vibe; the kind of charisma we all admire about our rule models.

I believe we are born to be unique and we already have been blessed with our own kind of beauty, to fulfil a unique mission, but are we courageous and strong enough to see it, that’s the question.

As for me, I open up my eyes to a different form of being, I now see myself as a whole, emphasizing on my physical qualities and how to improve them, while enhancing my inner abilities. When you can see through yourself, discover all what makes you unique and beautiful, inside-in and out, you build a confidence that will lead you to self-love and naturally to happiness and success.

When I became aware of all these qualities, my weaknesses and insecurities seemed to fade away, like a drop of black ink in a large ocean, you just barely see them….

To let my soul shine with love and confidence, I start changing the way I speak to myself, from a severe and heartless talk full of pressure and unrealistic perception of me, to a kind, loving and positive speech that helps me grow, while celebrating my qualities and working on my weaknesses. It’s a work in progress but totally worth it, because it able you to improve yourself while leading a peaceful life.

When I took this road, I put myself in a path of constant progress and growth, that did change my life completely, as well as my relationships with others. I had to attend a dead point, where I couldn’t bare the pressure anymore, where I had to stop and take a deep breath to ask myself for forgiveness, I was unconsciously torturing myself to become what I already was.

It may start with a simple habit of looking at the mirror, enumerating your qualities, the ones that make you beautiful and unique, repeating daily that you’re beautiful, smart, exceptional and successful…. but please bring in mind, you won’t appreciate it until you’ll start it.

The paths I’ve taken, leaded me to this moment where I can finally embrace my own kind of beauty, where I finally chased out of my mind, a deformed idea of beauty I was holding into it for a pretty good time of my valuable life.

I today not scared to let my soul shine, I’m on a self-discovery trip where I’m not afraid to uncover the hidden and painful parts of me, to accept my failures and to unveil new dimensions of my being that fear shaded away, holding the spirit of a child, the ambition of a girl, and the values of grown woman…..

So, try to join the trip, let your soul shine as The Allman Brothers Band once inspired me to do…

“When you can't find the light

That got you through the cloudy days

When the stars ain't shinin' bright

You feel like you've lost you're way

When the candlelight of home

Burns so very far away

Well, you got to let your soul shine

Just like my daddy used to say

He used to say soulshine

It's better than sunshine

It's better than moonshine

Damn sure better than rain”

This is the highest and most famous dune in North Africa. A very worthy place to explore the desert. But it is acquaintances, not "immersion", because boundless open spaces are not here. The entire dune is not more than 8 km across. But still interesting. A visit to the dunes is very well organized. You sit on the camels on one side, and spend the night on the other in tents, but in fairly comfortable conditions with a good dinner and a clean toilet. In the morning you meet the dawn in the sand and back. It is disappointing that all the sand is plowed by jeeps and finding a pristine area for a good photo is very problematic. You need to wake up very early and with a flashlight go far away from people.

Desert in Morocco - a place you must see !! This is an adventure that you do not forget for life. Camel stays in the desert, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, as well as the opportunity to spend the night in the desert with countless brilliant stars in the sky.

Wonderful place! The desert is beautiful, the views are amazing! We stayed not in the Merzoug itself, but in a small oasis nearby. The oasis itself is very interesting. It seems to me there is no need to take an additional tour. We independently went to the flamingo lake, the flamingos were there. We climbed the dune to sunset and sunrise, walked around the oasis. I recommend going out into the desert in the morning and in the evening, in the afternoon a lot of ATVs ride and crush the impression.
