Photo-diary of a Moroccan saint-festival

by

Moussem

Head over to “The View from Fez” for a superb 2-part photo-diary of the Sidi Ali ben Hamdush moussem (festival held in honour of a Moroccan saint)

The photos show a part of Morocco which you usually don’t see in non-moroccan newspapers or holiday-brochures.
This is, for me, one of the unique cultural aspects of Morocco. (even though these kind of events take place in other parts of North Africa as well)
The joy and praise of religion through trance, djin-worship and ecstatic dance.

Part 1 and Part 2 of the photo-diary
