Here you'll find epic mountain ranges, ancient cities, sweeping deserts – and warm hospitality. Morocco is quickly becoming one of the world’s most sought-after tourist destinations. From Casablanca through Rabat and Tangier at the tip of the continent; from the infinite blue labyrinth streets of Chefchaouen, and down to Fez, and still further south to the ever-spreading dunes of Erg Chebbi in the Sahara Desert; over to Marrakech, and the laid-back coastal town of Essaouira, Morocco has an abundance of important natural and historical assets. Marrakech Known as the capital of Morocco under the reign of Youssef Ben Tachfine, this “Pearl of the South” known as Marrakesh, remains one of the top attractions of tourists . Fez in the north of Morocco is a crucial center of commerce and industry (textile mills, refineries, tanneries and soap), thus making crafts and textiles an important part of the city’s past and present economy. The city, whose old quarters are classified world heritage by UNESCO, is a religious and intellectual center as well as an architectural gem. Rabat is the capital of Morocco and is a symbol of continuity in Morocco. At the heart of the city, stands the Hassan Tower, the last vestige of an unfinished mosque. Casablanca Known as the international metropolis whose development is inseparable from the port activity, Casablanca is a major international business hub.

    Anthropology 343 North African Ethnography Rutgers ❆ Summer 2019 ❆ Fez Morocco Study Abroad Instructor: Professors Khalid Bekkaoui, Sadik Rddad, [email protected], [email protected] and Malika Khandagui Office Hours: by appointment Email: [email protected], sadik.rdda North Africa is rich in complexity and anthropologists have long researched, theorized, and written about the people who work, claim, contest, negotiate, barter, marry, worship, migrate from and return to this place. Through a fine-grained observational lens, anthropologists have described and made sense of communities whose lives are interconnected with their own. How they do that is the focus of this course. This course is an introduction to ethnographic studies of North Africa, with a focus on Morocco. We will focus on representations of peoples and places through the lens of anthropologists and those who use anthropological methods, critically examining the ways they frame their research, writing, and position in the communities and texts. The primary questions are: how have scholars captured life in these communities? How has the process of describing “Moroccans” and “Maghariba” (North Africans) contributed to anthropological theories of personhood, identity, gender, religion, illness, politics and economics? Topics will include Social Customs and Rituals, Sufism and Spirituality, Medicine and Magic, as well as Youth and Social Movements. There will be three fieldtrips connected to this course: walking in the footsteps of anthropologists (Clifford and Hildred Geertz, Paul Rabinow, Lawrence Rosen) in Sefrou; shrines and tombs (Meknes and Moulay Idriss Zerhoun); economies of the Amazigh/Berber in the Middle Atlas (Immouzer, Azrou, Ain Leuh, el-Hajeb). A previous course in anthropology is encouraged but not required.

  • Tourism Geography & Map Work
    HAND OUT FOR UGC NSQF SPONSORED ONE YEAR DILPOMA IN TRAVEL & TORUISM MANAGEMENT PAPER CODE: DTTM C206 TOURISM GEOGRAPHY & MAP WORK SEMESTER: SECOND PREPARED BY MD ABU BARKAT ALI UNIT-I: 1.IMPORTANCE OF GEOGRAPHY: Geography involves the study of various locations and how they interact based on factors such as position, culture, and environment. This can involve anything from a basic idea of where each state is in the United States, to an in-depth understanding of the population density and economic stability of various countries. A thorough grasp of this subject has immense implications on the travel industry, specifically for those in the hotel management field. As an aspiring hotel manager within the southern California area, an in-depth education of geography would help me to understand cultural differences, travel patterns, evolution of tourism in the area, and new or non traditional destinations. An understanding of these various aspects of geography would assist in the improvement of my guest service practices, marketing strategies, and investment plans, which would in turn increase the popularity and revenue of my particular hotel. Though it is critical to have a general understanding of the cultural differences a location possesses when you plan on traveling abroad, it is equally important when considering inbound tourism within the context of the hotel industry. A hotel manager must have a strong understanding of not only the local culture, but of a variety of popular cultures around the world. For example, if I am managing a hotel near the Los Angeles area and I see that a large tourist group from Japan has booked an extended vacation, it is in my best interest to research the customs and traditions of Japanese culture.
