4. Event Really a Tourist Attraction
Lastly, the organizer fears it, that more tourists change the character of
this event in a wrong direction. The speech is from the marriage market of
Imilchil, a small mountain village in Morocco with only 2000 inhabitants.
But that once a year a center of love and mate choice, and anything that
has to do with marriage, developed and not without reason. For in the
remote mountain regions of Morocco, it is often difficult for young men
seeking wives to find suitable and also interested partners and partners.

5. Authentic wedding market in the Atlas
Mountains
• To achieve Imilchil, you had as a guest, nor accept as a tourist before an
onerous Driving up. Today it is still possible for those who prefer to travel
as a self drive through Morocco. However, providers of bus tours also have
this tourist attraction that was not, long ago identified and offer tours to
Imilchil.
• Then it goes to over 2,100 meters above sea level in the mountains of the
Atlas mountains, quite central in Morocco, geographically, but in truth far
off the beaten path in a sparsely populated region of the North African
country.
• Here keeps the legend, once that two young people were allowed to each
other due to social differences not marries, even though they loved each
other. The weeping both introduced to suicide, and in her honor at the
supposed death of these two this festival. A legend, according to the
scheme of Romeo and Juliet.

6. Berber culture to get to know first-hand in
Imilchil
• With the subtle distinction that even today not necessarily allow even the
social norms in Morocco the free choice of partners, also flirting is usually
frowned upon in public, as well as a become active woman in mate choice.
• And here is the wedding feast of Imilchil comes into play, but it gives a
welcome opportunity, intentionally and desired to go to the bride and
groom show. Unmarried women have to while still waiting for the consent
of the parents, divorced and widowed but may also be quite independent
active.
• Accompanying the celebration of many further bustles. Livestock is traded,
bridal jewelry is offered for sale, celebrate the people and after a few days
of the festival is on Saturday married eventually, with a registrar, who will
stamp the papers under the open sky.

7. Imilchil area
Imilchil area with its two beautiful lakes and high plateaus
surrounded by moonscape-like mountains, has not yet
been discovered by tourism. Therefore, it is the nature, the
energy is still pure and untouched, something you no
longer find in Europe. The people (mostly semi-nomads) life
very easy and friendly and welcoming. It seems as if time
has stood still. Everything (harvesting, threshing the grain,
feed for the animals and / or gather firewood, build houses
etc. etc.) is still done by hand. In August and September you
will see a huge activity around the harvest. Donkeys packed
with corn and other crops.
