Abstract

The team of the program attended a traditional wedding ceremony in the region of Ait Boughemaz, province of Azilal. The bridal procession, with the bride on a horse back, headed to the bridegroom's house where the wedding ceremony was held. On the following day, the bride came out, with some girls of the tribe, carrying a basket containing dates, nuts, sugar and products symbolizing the wealth of the region. They went to the lake where she wet her legs and started eating. These rituals must have connotations in the local memory. On the other hand, the program introduces the region's landscape and water resources, mainly the waterfall of Ouzoud. It also shows a dinosaur fossil that dates back to 145 million years.
