Female Tour Guide
As I was searching on the internet, I came across a recommendation for a female tour guide named Amina who is located in Chefchaouen. As a child, Amina dreamed of working with tourists who were visiting Morocco. Despite having dreams of being in the tour industry, she faced obstacles from older Moroccan men as tourism is a male-dominated field. Even with opposition from some men, she received support from her younger male friends. She has taken her exam and now has been an official tour guide for two years. Amina advises people to have ambition and continue to fight for there goals despite barriers they may face in the times of adversity.
During my first night in the city, I met Amina and went to Riad Hicham for dinner. For supper, I ordered rice salad, beef meatballs, and tagine. Dinner was great because we talked like we were old friends. Afterwards, we went on a tour around the medina.
During the tour, she explained why the city is painted blue. a) It keeps the mosquitos away. b)Due to there religion and spirituality, the Moors and the Jews decided they liked the colour of the sky because it represents God and Heaven.
