-Welcome to Morocco.

0:00:010:00:03

-This one's coming home with me!

-I've reached Gibraltar.

0:00:290:00:31

-I've travelled through Spain and

-reached somewhere that's so British.

0:00:310:00:36

-In the last series, things changed

-as I travelled further from Wales.

0:00:370:00:41

-I've just left the exotic world of

-flamenco dancing and bullfighting...

0:00:420:00:47

-..only to reach an English pub

-which serves a Sunday roast.

0:00:470:00:51

-A plate of Yorkshire pudding and

-gravy was a nice change from tapas!

0:00:510:00:57

-There are some differences, though.

0:00:590:01:02

-You don't see anything like this

-in Wales.

0:01:020:01:05

-And I'm not in a zoo.

-These are wild monkeys.

0:01:050:01:09

-They say that when the

-Barbary Macacas leave Gibraltar...

0:01:100:01:14

-..the British will also leave.

0:01:140:01:16

-Spain wants the Rock back...

0:01:170:01:19

-..but the British

-have been here for over 300 years.

0:01:200:01:23

-The locals want to remain British.

0:01:230:01:25

-I was shocked to find

-such a resilient attitude here.

0:01:250:01:29

-Far, far across the waves...

-is Morocco!

0:01:310:01:34

-Those are the Atlas Mountains

-and I'll be heading...

0:01:340:01:38

-..for North Africa soon.

0:01:380:01:40

-I lived in Nigeria

-for two years in the '80s.

0:01:400:01:43

-When I left, I had two choices.

0:01:440:01:46

-One was to leave in a Land Rover,

-across the Sahara through Morocco.

0:01:460:01:50

-The second was to go

-to the Bahamas as a nanny.

0:01:500:01:53

-I chose the Bahamas

-and I still regret it.

0:01:540:01:56

-Now, almost 20 years later,

-I'm going to North Africa.

0:01:560:02:00

-I've followed the longitude line

-through the islands of Brittany...

0:02:010:02:06

-..and right through

-the heart of Spain.

0:02:070:02:10

-I'm heading for Fez in Morocco.

0:02:100:02:12

-The ferry from Gibraltar

-will take me to Tangiers.

0:02:120:02:15

-I've strayed slightly

-from the longitude line...

0:02:260:02:29

-..but Tangiers

-is well worth a visit.

0:02:300:02:32

-It's a lively place...

0:02:320:02:34

-..which is quickly losing its bad

-reputation for hassling tourists.

0:02:340:02:38

-It's difficult to describe...

0:02:400:02:43

-..the feeling of being a female

-travelling alone in Morocco...

0:02:430:02:47

-..because I'm being followed

-by men with cameras all the time!

0:02:470:02:52

-A lot of tourists visit Tangiers

-and people here told me...

0:02:520:02:56

-..I could wear what I wanted.

0:02:560:02:58

-But I'd rather wear

-a long-sleeved shirt and trousers...

0:02:580:03:02

-..as a sign of respect.

0:03:020:03:04

-Artists and authors

-flocked to these cafes years ago.

0:03:040:03:08

-Local men drink coffee there now.

0:03:090:03:11

-But not today. Today is Ramadan.

0:03:110:03:13

-Ramadan is a month when followers

-of Islam starve themselves...

0:03:140:03:19

-..from dawn until dusk.

0:03:190:03:21

-Nothing passes their lips -

-not even water.

0:03:210:03:24

-It's their way of purifying

-the spirit, body and soul.

0:03:240:03:28

-It's also a show of sympathy

-to poor people who have no food.

0:03:290:03:33

-When the sunset comes at 5.30pm,

-they gorge themselves...

0:03:330:03:37

-..and have a great time.

0:03:370:03:39

-The traffic increases

-at the end of the afternoon.

0:03:440:03:48

-Everyone wants to go home

-for supper.

0:03:480:03:51

-Mustafa is taking me to Fez.

0:03:530:03:55

-He says we should reach in time

-to hear the call to prayer.

0:03:550:03:59

-Muslims pray five times a day.

0:03:590:04:01

-The imam in every mosque

-invites everyone to pray...

0:04:020:04:05

-..over a loud speaker.

0:04:060:04:07

-From the hill above the city,

-the effect is incredible.

0:04:080:04:12

-It sounds like racing cars

-in a Grand Prix.

0:04:130:04:16

-SOUND OF DISTANT PRAYERS

0:04:190:04:21

-They say that Fez

-is the Athens of Africa.

0:04:460:04:49

-It's an ancient city -

-Morocco's oldest imperial city...

0:04:490:04:53

-..and it's been

-a cultural and religious centre...

0:04:540:04:57

-..for over 1,000 years.

0:04:570:04:59

-Today, Fez is split

-into three parts.

0:04:590:05:02

-New Fez - which hasn't

-been new for 800 years...

0:05:020:05:05

-..the Ville Nouvelle which was built

-at the end of the last century...

0:05:050:05:09

-..and the original part -

-the old medina, Fez el Bali...

0:05:090:05:12

-..a World Heritage Site...

0:05:120:05:14

-..and one of the largest

-medieval cities in the world.

0:05:140:05:18

-Assalamu alaikum.

0:05:180:05:20

-There are 9,400 narrow streets

-and souks in the medina.

0:05:230:05:27

-They branch out

-into every direction.

0:05:270:05:30

-It's easy to get lost here...

0:05:300:05:32

-..but locals here are used

-to seeing people getting lost...

0:05:320:05:37

-..and are happy to help out -

-for a price, sometimes!

0:05:370:05:41

-The colours and smells

-are wonderful.

0:05:420:05:46

-Everything is laid out

-to tempt you to spend your dirhams.

0:05:470:05:50

-In this medina of Fez...

0:05:530:05:55

-..neither the buildings

-nor the people's way of life...

0:05:550:06:00

-..have changed for years.

0:06:000:06:02

-People still use donkeys

-to carry things around.

0:06:020:06:05

-People work with wood and metal

-in little holes-in-the-wall.

0:06:060:06:10

-Apart from the odd mobile phone,

-they still sell the same goods.

0:06:110:06:16

-It's great here!

0:06:160:06:18

-This donkey

-is carrying animal skins.

0:06:220:06:24

-It must be on its way to the

-tannery, which is where I'm going.

0:06:250:06:28

-If I lose the donkey,

-I can always follow my nose.

0:06:290:06:32

-The leather from Fez

-is some of the finest in the world.

0:06:410:06:45

-These men dye the skin

-in the old traditional way.

0:06:450:06:48

-Yes, with their feet!

0:06:490:06:51

-For some strange reason,

-I like this place.

0:06:530:06:56

-It's been here

-for more than eight centuries...

0:06:560:07:00

-..and they've used the same process

-throughout that time.

0:07:000:07:04

-I was expecting a strong smell...

0:07:040:07:06

-..but they do use pigeon poo,

-cow's pee and fish oils here!

0:07:070:07:11

-I must admit, the smell

-gets stronger as the day goes on...

0:07:120:07:16

-..but to be honest,

-it's not that bad.

0:07:160:07:18

-I've smelt worse things at home!

0:07:180:07:21

-On the farm, I mean,

-not in the house!

0:07:210:07:23

-Water is essential

-in such a dry country.

0:07:250:07:28

-Centuries ago, clever water systems

-were built here.

0:07:290:07:33

-There are over sixty

-public fountains in the medina...

0:07:330:07:37

-..some of which are beautiful.

0:07:370:07:40

-There are 350 mosques, but you

-can't enter unless you're a Muslim.

0:07:400:07:45

-The medina is far more

-than just a marketplace.

0:07:490:07:52

-If you want to know

-what goes on behind closed doors...

0:07:520:07:56

-..you need a guide.

0:07:560:07:58

-Ahmed is taking me

-to a very special place.

0:07:580:08:01

-Behind this door,

-in a quiet corner of the medina...

0:08:150:08:19

-..is a Koran school.

0:08:190:08:21

-I've been invited to call in.

0:08:210:08:23

-Assalamu alaikum.

0:08:270:08:28

-Assalamu alaikum.

0:08:340:08:35

-The lesson today is counting to ten.

0:08:370:08:39

-THEY COUNT TO TEN IN ARABIC

0:08:400:08:42

-BETHAN COUNTS TO TEN IN ARABIC

0:08:520:08:54

-I could have stayed with them

-all day.

0:09:050:09:08

-Fez is renowned

-for being an educational centre.

0:09:080:09:11

-Morocco's most religious, cultural

-and artistic people live here.

0:09:120:09:16

-No wonder since they start

-teaching them very young.

0:09:170:09:21

-You can't leave Morocco without

-visiting at least one carpet shop.

0:09:320:09:36

-Ahmed has brought me

-to one of the finest...

0:09:370:09:39

-..in a large, stunning building.

0:09:400:09:42

-The managers of these places

-are always pleasant...

0:09:420:09:46

-..and they can speak

-dozens of languages.

0:09:460:09:49

-There are dozens of rooms

-and thousands of carpets.

0:09:490:09:53

-You're given a lecture

-on history and tradition first...

0:09:530:09:57

-..and then you're shown

-a number of different carpets.

0:09:580:10:01

-The manager takes note

-of every single response you make.

0:10:020:10:05

-I must look like

-a very practical woman.

0:10:060:10:10

-This carpet has one side for the

-summer and another for the winter.

0:10:100:10:14

-That's the one I fancy,

-the big red one.

0:10:220:10:26

-He has noted my interest.

0:10:270:10:29

-Here's a cup of sweet mint tea

-to try and win me over.

0:10:290:10:33

-He gives me a lecture on the history

-of the carpet and its patterns.

0:10:370:10:42

-I only want to know one thing.

-How much does it cost?

0:10:420:10:46

-THEY SPEAK FRENCH

0:10:470:10:49

-Combien?

0:10:520:10:53

-Douze mille dirhams.

0:10:550:10:57

-Douze mille?

0:10:570:10:59

-I can't do my sums!

-I don't know how much it costs.

0:10:590:11:02

-750.

0:11:090:11:12

-Too much!

-I mustn't get my fingers burnt!

0:11:140:11:17

-I could have stayed

-in the medina of Fez for a week...

0:11:170:11:21

-..and spent a fortune on carpets.

0:11:220:11:24

-I regret not buying that carpet now.

0:11:240:11:27

-It's time to move on

-and Mustafa is waiting for me.

0:11:270:11:31

-Onwards I go, to see more

-of this remarkable country.

0:11:310:11:34

-You'd never tell I was still

-in Morocco, but I am.

0:12:100:12:14

-We've driven up the Atlas Mountains

-on the way to Midelt.

0:12:140:12:18

-We've stopped

-in the little village of Ifrane.

0:12:180:12:21

-It was built by the French in the

-'20s and '30s of the last century...

0:12:220:12:27

-..as a holiday village -

-it's like being in Switzerland!

0:12:270:12:31

-Today, rich Moroccans come here

-for their holidays, and to ski!

0:12:310:12:36

-Unfortunately, snow isn't forecast

-until next Friday.

0:12:360:12:40

-So, on I go to Midelt.

0:12:400:12:42

-I enjoyed every minute

-of the hustle and bustle in Fez...

0:12:470:12:51

-..but the tranquillity

-in this green valley is wonderful.

0:12:520:12:56

-Morocco is full of variety.

0:12:560:12:58

-There's more to come in Part Two!

0:12:580:13:01

-888

0:13:310:13:31

-888

-

-888

0:13:310:13:33

-Midelt is right in the centre

-of Morocco...

0:13:430:13:46

-..nestling in the Atlas Mountains.

0:13:470:13:49

-It's a quiet town

-with little to do here.

0:13:490:13:53

-It's somewhere to fill the petrol

-tank on the way north or south.

0:13:540:13:58

-It's a place for tourists on buses

-to rest a while...

0:14:000:14:03

-..and stock up on food

-for the journey ahead.

0:14:040:14:07

-There is one place worth visiting -

-Kasbah Myriem...

0:14:070:14:12

-..a convent and a workhouse.

0:14:120:14:14

-Franciscan nuns provide shelter...

0:14:150:14:17

-..for Berber women

-to make carpets and embroidery.

0:14:170:14:20

-The nuns buy the wool

-and the women make the carpets...

0:14:240:14:28

-..which are sold to tourists

-like me.

0:14:280:14:31

-This is a way of making money

-to buy food for the family...

0:14:350:14:39

-..and themselves,

-if they are widows or spinsters.

0:14:390:14:42

-They don't work to a pattern.

0:14:510:14:53

-Each carpet is an original creation

-based on the person's imagination.

0:14:530:14:57

-Here are the young girls arriving.

0:15:000:15:03

-They aren't eager

-to learn how to make carpets.

0:15:030:15:06

-They prefer embroidery.

0:15:060:15:08

-The old skill of making carpets

-will one day die out...

0:15:080:15:14

-..but the youngsters

-prefer embroidery at the moment.

0:15:140:15:18

-Some refuse to marry because

-work gives them independence.

0:15:180:15:22

-As one pointed out, why marry men

-who only use them as servants?

0:15:220:15:28

-With a full tank of petrol,

-and plenty of water bottles...

0:15:350:15:38

-..we were ready to head

-for the desert.

0:15:390:15:42

-We will climb up

-the highest Atlas Mountains...

0:15:490:15:52

-..and then descend to Erfoud,

-which will lead us to the Sahara.

0:15:520:15:57

-These people were the last people

-to be controlled by the French.

0:16:010:16:05

-They were still rebelling in 1932.

0:16:060:16:08

-Erfoud was then built

-to control this unruly bunch!

0:16:080:16:12

-This is Rissani, where the souks

-are out in the open air.

0:16:190:16:24

-I thought the whole point

-of having souks in a medina...

0:16:240:16:28

-..was to avoid the hot sunshine.

0:16:290:16:31

-But spices are fine in the sun -

-I think.

0:16:310:16:33

-There are forty different spices

-in this one.

0:16:340:16:37

-And it's good for digestion!

0:16:370:16:39

-Chocoran!

0:16:420:16:43

-All I need is some fruit to quench

-my thirst on the way to the desert.

0:16:490:16:54

-Dix - combien?

0:16:550:16:57

-Combien sont les bananes?

0:17:010:17:03

-I'm right on the edge

-of the Sahara with a nomadic family.

0:17:510:17:55

-This isn't something for tourists,

-so I feel very privileged.

0:17:560:18:01

-These people move

-from place to place all the time.

0:18:010:18:05

-Their only means of subsistence

-is a herd of twenty-five goats.

0:18:050:18:09

-It's a hard life - and they're poor

-but they've invited me for supper.

0:18:100:18:13

-This is the kitchen.

0:18:140:18:16

-This is the lounge and the bedroom.

0:18:200:18:22

-I offered to help and had

-a linguistic shock in the process.

0:18:230:18:27

-Crwn!

0:18:310:18:33

-Crwn? Crwn!

0:18:330:18:35

-Crwn?!

0:18:360:18:38

-Crwn!

0:18:410:18:43

-Crwn! Wow!

0:18:450:18:46

-It's the same word in Welsh.

0:18:480:18:50

-While the father lights a fire

-to boil water for a cuppa...

0:18:520:18:55

-..the mother tries to make me look

-like a local woman.

0:18:560:18:59

-Berber.

0:18:590:19:00

-Berber.

-

-Berber?

0:19:000:19:00

-Berber?

0:19:000:19:02

-How do I look?

0:19:110:19:13

-A good way of getting

-to know each other...

0:19:220:19:25

-..is teaching each other

-your own language.

0:19:250:19:28

-Ah, tomato!

0:19:290:19:31

-Mateisha.

0:19:310:19:33

-In Welsh, 'Nionyn'.

0:19:340:19:36

-'Tatws'.

0:19:360:19:38

-'Pupur'.

0:19:400:19:42

-'Tomato'.

0:19:420:19:44

-Mateisha!

0:19:480:19:50

-Morticia Addams Family!

0:19:500:19:52

-Mateisha!

0:19:520:19:54

-Batat.

0:19:550:19:56

-I never travel anywhere without

-photos of my home and family.

0:20:110:20:15

-The children loved the photo

-of my house in the snow.

0:20:150:20:19

-Meg, my niece, is the same age

-as Mustafa, the youngest.

0:20:190:20:23

-The sunset, the food

-and the welcome was magnificent.

0:20:290:20:33

-The night turned into

-a very special experience.

0:20:330:20:38

-THE CHILDREN SING

0:20:400:20:42

-The most memorable night

-of the journey so far.

0:20:490:20:52

-Fewer people can live

-a nomadic life these days...

0:20:530:20:56

-..and this way of life

-may soon disappear.

0:20:560:21:00

-When these children raise

-their own children in town flats...

0:21:000:21:05

-..they'll miss these nights

-beneath the stars.

0:21:050:21:08

-To catch the sun

-rising above the dunes...
