When I was checking into a hotel an hour south of Casablanca the other day, an employee of the hotel suggested I take a bus about 10 miles outside of town to attend a festival there. As it turned out, it wasn't so easy getting out there because there were hordes of others also trying to get a bus or taxi. After an hour or so I managed to get a ride on a motorcyle cart, along with a dozen others. The festival, an annual event to show solidarity among local tribes, was huge. Here are some statistics from last year's event:
-- Over 20,000 camping tents
-- About 400,000 visitors
-- 1,300 horses
