DESERT OASIS explained: this is how they do it. |S7 - E7|

In this episode, the manager of the guesthouse where I am staying is showing me around the oasis that was created here and explains how water is managed to sustain the life of the people here. The way the community works together in the oasis, the women and children centre and the community bakery is fascinating to see. In environments like these, you have to work together when resources are scarce!

People don't understand the work it takes to make a video like this. Noraly has mastered it. To run multiple cameras, interview people, unload the cameras, edit the footage and add audio.... it's an art. The guesthouse manager had a lot of energy! You really get the sense of community in the collective. When resources are thin, everybody works together, everybody thrives. Thanks for this video, Noraly! Well done.

It amazes me how you just show up out of the blue to these places and these people take time out of their day to basically give you a guided tour of their home, businesses, way of life. It shows just how welcoming strangers around the world can be and certainly helps restore my hope and faith for humanity. Noraly, you're giving us all hope for the future....thank you.

This guy's passion for his oasis and village is infectious. The world is a better place because of people like him.

He rubs hi belly, “make a salad inside” and his smile at his own joke is priceless! What an awesome tour guide an upstanding man. So welcoming and willing to share. Phenomenal episode, Noraly!

Wow, Americans think they are smart. We are not! The system they have developed is genius on so many levels.

Great episode. Some of the freshest good food I ever ate was in Morocco. Really nice people. Always a good day when I stopped to camp and meet local people. Coming back to the west with it's plastic and metal wrapped food was so hard. I just sat outside a Spanish supermarket for half an hour not wanting to go in when coming back through Europe. "Culture shock" was the coming home to England part of the journey! Thank you Noraly. Asalamou Alaykoum to all the good people of Morocco.

I like how that man acted as professional guide. He described their watering system in details with good simple English. His welcoming behavior is really incredible. May Allah give him the best in this life and the next.

[@philipschrantz8402]

I am struck by the justifiable pride your guide has in what they have accomplished in his community. So beautiful to see this way of living.

The simplicity in Noraly's approach in acquiring and relaying the information to us is splended. I remember my childhood in old country watching farmers siting by the canal in the middle of the night watering their crops. Watching Noraly's journeys, I noticed a common bond of love and respect between normal people across the World, if you take out the ugliness of dictatorship and corporate greed.

[@steveparsons6324]

Perhaps one of your best segments. The people of Morocco are impressive with their land skills, education, and friendliness! Well done, Norally!

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for visiting our humble desert town and immersing yourself in our culture and way of life. It was a pleasure to have you as our guest, and we appreciate the interest and respect you showed toward our community.

[@leonardmutuiri7401]

Imagine somebody going to disturb such people who have their rules that they follow to the latter. This water management strategy is mind-blowing. Thank you Noraly for showing us this. Both educative and entertaining.

[@wyblemontano7165]

Wow im amazed how these people lived in harmony. Equal distribution of water in their gardens. Im so stunned. I know i wont be able to reach this part of the world. Thanks Noraly for taking us with you in the Sahara.

[@ianc4901]

It's incredible how those people's lives are so well organised around that water !

[@pampennyworth]

Agricultural engineering at its finest. What a beautiful community. Thank you Noraly for sharing your adventures with us. 😊

[@Sunny8888]

Watching the garden tour was a reminder of how connected we are to the soil and how important it is to maintain our environment for food resources and clean water.

So cool to see how the communal farms worked in the middle of the Moroccan desert. This brought back memories of me, as a small boy, walking with and helping my grandfather irrigate his organic peach and plum orchards in California. He had over a 100 acres of fruit trees and was selling organic fruit to Los Angeles health food stores in the 1950's-1960's. Granny and Pop were ahead of their time. Thanks for another window into how unique and beautiful all the people of the world can be.

[@davidobyrne9549]

The community living there at the oasis is how we all lived thousands of years ago....self sufficiency, your own rules and sharing between families for the good of all. Excellent vegetables, both for food and herbal medicines. Yes they have some modern conveniences, electricity and vehicles....but come the day of the next world apocalypse, those are the folk who will survive....I'm not so sure many of us in First World countries would do so well.

[@tatmannie]

Love you to bits Noraly. You came to Zimbabwe and graced us with your smile, cheerfulness and sense of adventure when you stayed in Harare at Newlands suburb. Never missed a single upload ever since.

[@RLHayes]

As an avid gardener, this episode was particularly inspiring! I love how they all work together so that everyone gets their share of water and land. Fascinating. Thank you for teaching and sharing.
