Its diversity runs the spectrum from ancient cities and ruins to grand mountain vistas and desert oases. The plains of the north have acted as Morocco’s breadbasket for centuries, feeding the rise of cities whose culture went on to dominate the rest of the country. The Romans were the first to get in on the act, and left remains at Volubilis as testament. IMPERIAL CITIES, MIDDLE The streets of Fez’s World Heritage medina rank high on the must-see list of any visitor to & THE EAST ATLAS the country. Getting lost amid the souqs and alleys is an unforgettable (and often unavoid- able) way to spend a day. Meknès, another imperial capital and near neighbour to Fez offers a more pocket-sized version of the medina experience. To the south, the land rises into the limestone range of the Middle Atlas, which are home to the Barbary ape, Morocco’s only monkey. The area is made for hiking, and in winter the wealthy still come here to ski. Across the mountains, towns like Midelt herald drier climes, and the distinctive kasbahs of the south begin to make an appearance. The desert isn’t far away, and by the time you reach the oasis of Figuig, the olive tree has long given way to the date palm.

  • De La Continuité Linguistique Du Préhilalien De Type Jebli Au-Delà Du Territoire Des Jbala
    DE LA CONTINUITÉ LINGUISTIQUE DU PRÉHILALIEN DE TYPE JEBLI AU-DELÀ DU TERRITOIRE DES JBALA Fouad BRIGUI* Université Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah - Fès BIBLID [1133-8571] 26 (2019) 01.1-20. Résumé : On considère, généralement, que le territoire des Jbala, au nord-ouest du Maroc, est limité, au sud, par le bassin de l’Oued Ouergha moyen, au nord, par le détroit de Gibraltar et, au nord-est, par le Rif et l’Oriental. Le parler des Jbala, de type préhilalien, se limiterait donc à cet espace géographique. Or, comme l’avaient déjà pressenti et indiqué des sémitisants de l’ère coloniale et comme l’ont confirmé des travaux récents, des parlers présentant des caractéristiques similaires aux parlers des Jbala sont attestés au sud-est et au sud-ouest de cette aire géographique. Cet article fait la synthèse de ces travaux et analyse des données recueillies récemment qui montrent la parenté entre le parler des Jbala et des parlers appartenant à des zones situées en dehors de ce territoire et qui en constituent, probablement, l’extension. Mots-clés : Dialectologie, Préhilalien, Jbala, Maroc, Géographie linguistique, Variation, Variante, Arabe, Substrat Abstract: It is generally considered that the territory of Jbala, in the north-west of Morocco, is bounded on the south by the Oued Ouergha Basin, on the north by the Strait of Gibraltar and on the north-east by the Rif and the Oriental region. The dialect of Jbala, pertaining to the prehilalian type, would be limited to this geographical region. However, as it has been suggested and indicated by some colonial times Semitists and confirmed by recent work, some dialects showing similar features to Jbala dialects are attested in the southeast and southwest of this geographical area.

  • Chapitre VI La Ville Et Ses Équipements Collectifs
    Chapitre VI La ville et ses équipements collectifs Introduction L'intérêt accordé à la connaissance du milieu urbain et de ses équipements collectifs suscite un intérêt croissant, en raison de l’urbanisation accélérée que connaît le pays, et de son effet sur les équipements et les dysfonctionnements liés à la répartition des infrastructures. Pour résorber ce déséquilibre et assurer la satisfaction des besoins, le développement d'un réseau d'équipements collectifs appropriés s'impose. Tant que ce déséquilibre persiste, le problème de la marginalisation sociale, qui s’intensifie avec le chômage et la pauvreté va continuer à se poser La politique des équipements collectifs doit donc occuper une place centrale dans la stratégie de développement, particulièrement dans le cadre de l’aménagement du territoire. La distribution spatiale de la population et par conséquent des activités économiques, est certes liée aux conditions naturelles, difficiles à modifier. Néanmoins, l'aménagement de l'espace par le biais d'une politique active peut constituer un outil efficace pour mettre en place des conditions favorables à la réduction des disparités. Cette politique requiert des informations fiables à un niveau fin sur l'espace à aménager. La présente étude se réfère à la Base de données communales en milieu urbain (BA.DO.C) de 1997, élaborée par la Direction de la Statistique et concerne le niveau géographique le plus fin à savoir les communes urbaines, qui constituent l'élément de base de la décentralisation et le cadre d'application de la démocratie locale. Au recensement de 1982, était considéré comme espace urbain toute agglomération ayant un minimum de 1 500 habitants et qui présentait au moins quatre des sept conditions énumérées en infra1.
