...a fairly typical older house


The shot on the above left shows the cliff face that cuts Figuig in two and separates 3 of the villages from the other 4. The lower area is called Baghdad.

...a newer house being built


If you get the chance to see satellite tv whilst in North Africa (from Libya, algeria, Iraq, Egypt etc) you will notice a lot of wonderful advertising of western products. Maggi being one of the bigger advertisers it seems. Sadly these new and wonderful products come wrapped in plastic or tin and there are no rubbish facilities, certainly not recycling, to deal with them.

So all over Morocco you will see hundreds of plastic bags and wrappers being blown around in the wind or dumped as pictured above.

...you must have a groovy door


Doors seem to be an important part of any property with great detail and fuss made of some of them. I quite like them. It always makes wondering what's inside more interesting.
