There are a lot of housing in the current Morocco, all the same type - four-storey slag blocks with a small, but inner courtyard-well. Driving along the highway, I saw the plots prepared for construction - the rows of small bedside tables gently grow on the wasteland, I first accepted them for the tombstones. In fact, these are conclusion conclusions - in every bedside table electrical cable and sewage and water pipes. Central gas supply I have not met here, all cylinders have.

Like everything on this beautiful land, if the bedside table is to wipe and care, it grows into a full-fledged house - and the houses are built here without any gaps, the wall to the wall, leaving only the narrow streets - the passages over which balconies hang. On the windows almost always - lattices, there are high deaf railing on the balconies - I did not understand why the lattice is on the fourth floor, it is possible that the children do not fall out of the windows. On the first floor is usually placed some store or workshop, the residential first floors in the city - rarity. On the second and third, the kitchen and several large rooms with a TV, where the whole family dins, while sure to stand the benches with soft seats, such as our banquetails. On the fourth floor, the whole family sleeps on the same banquettes, it happens that the head of the family has separate room with a huge bed, where he sleeps with his wife, sometimes with younger child. Guests are stacked on the same banquettes, in any case, all three nights on the part in Moroccan homes I slept on such a bench.

But female and male half I have not met, it is convenient - you do not have to be separated from the fellow traveler, everyone sleeps nearby.

Externally, the houses can be almost the same, but inside are arranged in different ways - sometimes it is something like Townhouse, when one family owns all the floors of the house, from the first to the last. It also happens with apartments, inside the house there is an entrance and from it the entrance to different apartments, as we are familiar in Russia. For example, a house for all is located just in such an apartment on the fifth floor. The peculiarity of our house is normal wide stairs in the stairwell, in the townhouses due to saving space, they usually make a staircase as a narrow, such that they will not break on the shoulders with a backpack.

Roofs are flat everywhere, covered with a tile and high deaf walls are made. As a rule, the roof is used for drying linen, sometimes they cook meat or Tajin on the coals - but it's not every day, but for the holidays. And of course, a satellite plate will stand on the roof - even in the haupis of sticks and rags in the empty there is a TV, it is definitely. When you look at Moroccan cities on top, you see the sea roofs, torn satellite plates, thousands of plates, to the horizon itself. But the air conditioners are far from everyone, only in good European regions - the TV is more important than coolness.

In the house for all the roof is wonderful - there you can stand, watch the moon, clouds and sitting airplanes, look at the city and think about the future. Other residents of the roof entrance are rare, mostly during the day - hang underwear, or at night - to smoke. It is a pity that they still come out, and then it would be possible to sunbathe or sleep on the roof, under the stars - but I forbid it to not shock the neighbors. And from the roof of the house, the mountains are clearly visible for everyone, you can think how it is cold and beautiful and beautiful and how some climbers are braided snow along the road to the top.

Central hot water in Morocco has no anywhere, but many have gas speakersThe cylinder is connected to them and you can enjoy hot water. It is a pity, in our house there is no such device, you have to wait until you call on a visit or wash it cold.

For all the time in Morocco, I have never seen the toilet of the "Sortyr" type in the form of a pit and the booth standing above it. In the cities and towns in each house there is a sewage, in the village and the desert - shit around and bury in the sand.

The original house I saw in a small fishing village on the beach of the Atlantic - the house was built on a limestone rock on the coastal cliff, one room was dismantled in a rock, as in Cappadocia, and the living room and terrace were built in the usual way, sly block blocks. Right in the house inside there is a well, dried in limestone - water can be raised without leaving the kitchen. Electricity from solar panels in general solar panels Popular in the desert and in the villages, central electricity is not everywhere. But in some resort towns there are painted outside the house - it is very pleased with the eye in the middle of a colorful brown despondency.

In general, to build here is cheap: it is not necessary to plunge the foundation, the earth does not freeze. The base is stones and gravel, wrapping and put the house directly to the ground. Communications can be conducted outside, because again the water does not freeze. Heating is not necessary when cool - use the blankets, for the same reason the walls make a thickness of 15 centimeters from the holey slag blocks, you can stumble such a pincot. Somehow there are houses from clay not hollow bricks, but this is already history - the fortresses of Kasba and fortified houses in the past were built, now slag blocks rule the ball everywhere. The tree is used minimally, only for overlap beams, the floors are always earthy or concrete, decorated with a tile. In general, Moroccan homes remind us with a bathroom or a bath - everywhere solid tile.

In the house for everyone, the standard is a tiled floor, painted walls from thin slag blocks, you want to drive the nail - we ruined the wall. On the floor there is a life - a table of cardboard, a bed of cardboard, some designers have a design table from the basin. On the walls with the help of Scotch, various agitamaterials are strengthened: the laws of the house for all - about purity, about the pious behavior, the rules of the house for all.

Since the laws are not reading all, the main thoughts are repeated on the signs drawn by famous artists who visited the house - about the inadmissibility to go outside the street, about the need to throw paper in the package, and not in the toilet, about what needs to be replenished. But there are simply pictures for the soul - the photo exhibition of Lithuanian citizen Alex Kirichenko, decorated albina, was spread to a whole wall - photos in the original drawing framework, with quotes from the vacation and other bards.

Another wall is a cartographic, here is a big map of Morocco, a five-kilometer of the surroundings of Marrakesh, a lifting scheme for a tubcal, two maps of the city of Marrakesh - local production of the geoglocart printing meter, with all alleys. Along cards are always a party: someone tells where to go, someone plans traveling.

On the window in the girl's room, various things are dried - socks and so on. I think this decoration of the lattice pleases our neighbors. In general, the mountains are best visible from the window of the female room, from our visible worse.

And I am increasingly thinking about my house in Saltykovka, unfinished affairs and friends remaining in Moscow and daughter - it's time to get home, it remained 11 days in Africa ..

Riada (translated from Arabic means "garden") is a traditional Moroccan home or palace. Riada usually have an inner courtyard with a garden, from where the natural light penetrates all rooms at home. This form of buildings came from Ancient Rome, namely from the city of Volubilis, since the reign of the dynasty of Idrisides. The main task in such a design was "hide" privacy and women according to the concepts of Islam. Later, won in the 11th century, Spain, Almoravids sent Christian and Jewish artisans in Morocco to work on the construction of monuments.

Vintage houses filled with antiques used by the most notable families of the country living in these palaces. Houses in which the spirit of luxury and wealth reigns, but not the golden luxury of the Palaces of the Russian nobility, but a luxurious-sophisticated atmosphere of Maghreb, attention and respect for people living in them. Families who own riads belong to tourists as a real sight. Starting from the preparation of the desired dishes to escort in walks on the old town. It is noteworthy that such an attitude does not depend on whether a person lives in an expensive number or cheaper.

The traditional Arab house was intended to combine three or four generations of one family under its roof. Usually, such a house was built around the courtyard, which was a source of daylight. In the homes of noble families, this courtyard became a real Andalusian patio, in the center of which was established a fountain. The common element for all Ryad is also a square or rectangular garden, around which three or four wings of the house, with a fountain or a small pool in the center.

The courtyard illuminated by sunlight is surrounded, as a rule, from three or four sides with a covered gallery with columns, the salons and living rooms come out for the first and second floors. Riad is rare when there is one floor and even less often - more than two residential.

The direction of the Riad inside allowed to hide privacy from prying eyes, and also defended against bad weather, which is why this type of buildings became popular in Morocco. All the windows of the Riad were small and came out only in the inner garden, and the external walls were made of raw bricks - this building structure found support from Islam and was associated with the Women's Hegabon. Four oranges were often planted in the courtyard lemon woodAnd Riad's walls were usually decorated with Tadacte-plaster and mosaic, as a rule, with Arabic calligraphy and quotes from the Quran.

The style of Riad has changed over the years, but the main form of the building remains the same. Today there is a surge of interest in this form of the house, especially after most of the old buildings in Marrakesh and Es-Savier have been restored.

Riada is generally very common in Marrakesh, as well as in all Morocco (about 4000 them), and they are located in media or in ancient city centers. Usually they are fenced with a wall and are focused on the center - in the patio, which allows families to feel protected from other people and cold or heat. For example, inside the riad in the marker in the summer, the temperature can only be 25C, while outside the riad temperature may exceed 50 C!

Log in Riada is a unique experience. Riada has reflections and rest. All rooms in Riad are open to the central atrium, in which the garden is usually located (this is especially characteristic of the marriage) with four orange trees or lemon and sometimes fountain.

Riad walls are usually very thick, manually covered with plaster called "Tadact", and the floor, as a rule, covers the blue glazed tile "Zelliga" or other species made from clay, for example "beugmat".

Galleries with arches are usually decorated with numerous elements of scenery and serve as a real sample architecture. But, in addition to its architectural and decorative function, they serve as a double screen for sun ray, giving coolness and shadow in the inhabitants of Riada - here during the day there are mint tea with sweets.

In the north-western part of the country, people live in small scattered villages or villages. These are rural Duaras, consisting of reed huts (zooula) and stone or milling houses (Gurbi). Such settlements are located mainly in the indental areas. Old quarters of Morocco cities are striking with their monotony. Of all the types of transport, only mules and donkeys can move here. Along the entire street, solid global walls stretch, occasionally interrupted by blue or blue built-in doors - entrances to the courtyard of the house (Riad).

This door leads to a completely different world, and sometimes to the palace. All rooms at home have access to the Riad, it is on its territory that the life of the family passes. Some home the glass roof over him, why the room turns into a large living room. The indispensable attribute of the courtyard is a fountain around which flower beds are broken or planted fruit trees, usually palm trees or orange trees.

Ha 2nd floor (in the female half), where guests are located mainly, guests are closed. They are usually taken on the 1st floor, which is a male hail house. Here are a dining room and a room for receiving guests, communicating with friends and relatives. Very often, households simply arrange here tea drinking or invite friends to spend time for an interesting conversation and hookah. Moroccans call this part of the house "Salon", which once again demonstrates the relationship of Moroccan and French cultures. On the 2nd floor there is an exit to an open terrace with a picturesque view of the surrounding area, if the house is built in rural areas.

Traditionally, Moroccans build a house from clay - this is natural construction materialwhich lies on the surface of the earth. She does good heat, but gives him slowly, so it gives a feeling of coolness in the summer, and in winter it is better to keep warm. This is an ancient technology that the first builders of Moroccan cities applied using a mixture of clay and manure. Now it is added to it concrete, cement and wood. In mountain cities and villages, clay replace stone. For the diversion of rainwater in each house are arranged.

Residents of mountainous regions (especially southern) live in fortified villages - Ksarah. Nomads and democrebers have traditional housing - Shatters "Haima".

The lifestyle of the population in the zone of mountain arrays and semi-desert largely contributes to the preservation of a community or tribal economy. A person who daily opposes the harsh nature, has long ago came to a simple conclusion that one will not be able to survive in a similar setting. Therefore, there are ancient customs, respect for the laws of society, mutual support and solidarity. It is these residents of the mountains and deserts differ from representatives of other segments of the population. "The lonely man is a dead man" - the main Credo of the nomad and the resident of the mountains.
