Berber traditions

When we went to the Atlas Mountains, we found out a lot about the traditions and lives from the Berbers in which they believe in god and Mohamed the Prophet. First, As my group introduced a woman and their Children about Berber food, we found out that the children's treat is an egg. In comparison, we as a treat usually get something like Chocolate, Candy bar or MP3... In addition, they mostly eat Tajine for their Lunch and Dinner, However, the kids at school that are not Marrocan usually go to Mc Donalds or their Mother cooks something else for them. Another fact about Berber food is that almost every family has its own Walnut tree, from this tree they earn their Walnuts which they can use as Money.
Second, we saw the Berbers dance. I will tell you how they dance and what Music they do. When they dance, thei move up and down with their upper bodies and clapp in theior hands as the woman move slowsy, all in the same direction. As the woman dance, the men slapp on small hand drums with their hands And the womans sing to their takt with the men. Third, their clothing is also very traditional. Their traditional clothing is mostly made of a kind of wool for the womans, however, the men also wear the regular T-Shirts and Pants (Shorts) which we also wear. In conclusion, the berbers have many traditions and they believe in "Allah" which is god.
