STAGE 1 – MIDDLE ATLAS

In Imilchil, situated in the Middle Atlas, one encounters Berber communities who maintain a semi-nomadic lifestyle. These individuals reside either in permanent dwellings or tents and practice transhumance, herding their sheep between the pre-Saharan regions and the mountains. They adeptly utilize locally available materials: weaving garments and tapestries from wool, crafting baskets from natural fibers, and creating jewelry from precious metals, which hold magical, religious, and social significance.
