When you think of an ideal summer vacation, what kind of places come to your mind? You might think of the serene turquoise blue beaches of Bali, or it could be the picturesque mountain view of New Zealand. You might dream of the vibrant coral reefs on Mauritius or feel drawn to the ancient cultural heritage of Greece. But very few people consider Morocco, one of the most beautiful countries of North Africa. And it feels like a real shame because this gorgeous nation has so much to offer in the warmer months!

Arts and crafts are what represent a country's long-standing culture and traditions the best. People die, but their creations last. They immortalize history. The delicate techniques of creating such arts are also worth treasuring. Artisans go to great lengths to preserve and replicate these authentic techniques and create crafts generations after generation. But modern times have caused a huge dent in the traditional arts and crafts industry. Factory-made mass-produced cheap products are replacing the traditionally crafted goods. The demand is depleting rapidly and artisans are barely getting their deserved payment. The lack of business and poor infrastructure are forcing a lot of them to change their line of profession. Especially after the pandemic, the situation of rural artisans and craftsmen has been extremely precarious. Various art techniques are losing their relevance. And this situation is not only a blow to a country's economy but also its root and history.
