March 26 bad memories


The school where I had the accident in



The month of March, and especially 26 of it, was associated with bad memories to me . This month, 25 years ago, I was a student . My left hand was broken in a dramatic and painful way.


I was playing with some of my friends near the fence of our school in the village. I fell from above and my hand was broken. I was carried on a motorcycle to the small town. I waited for more than an hour. They took me in an ambulance to Safi, a beautiful and ancient city.


I spent two weeks in Safi Hospital, where I met new patients and made friends, and I was stuck in remembering the painful pictures.


On 26 March 2004, I was in the city of Marrakech studying at the university when I received a call from my older brother telling me that my mother had died.


I was shocked and left and I was crying and I could not imagine that i will not see my mother again.


Since then I have not felt comfortable during March and especially the last ten days of it.

Summer in Morocco 2025: Traditions, Daily Life, and Cultural Rhythms

  Summer in Morocco in 2025 is not only about the heat and the sunshine; it is a season of social rhythms, cultural gatherings, and daily habits that shape life across the country. As temperatures rise, Moroccans naturally adapt their routines, shifting much of their activity into the cooler hours of the evening when families and friends fill the streets, cafés, and seaside promenades. In coastal cities such as Casablanca, Rabat, and Tangier, the Atlantic breeze softens the summer atmosphere, turning the evenings into lively social occasions. Families stroll along the corniche, children play near the water, and young people gather in open cafés where mint tea and fresh juices remain essential companions to conversation. This nightly migration toward public spaces is one of the most distinctive features of Moroccan summer life.
