JBALA WOMEN Tangiers Medina, Morocco ©Laura Quick

Not a great shot but I couldn't resist. These woman are wearing the native dress of the Jbala women from the Rif Mountains. These camera-shy women come into Tangiers to sell goat cheese wrapped in palm fronds in the marketplace. I found them fascinating.

ORIGINS: The Jebala are mostly of Berber origin; they adopted the Arabic language between the 10th and 15th centuries, influenced by Arabic-speaking townspeople of northern Morocco. Before the arrival of the Banu Arabs in the 12th century, the Jebala country was the only rural region where Arabic was spoken. It emains the only significant rural region where an urban, non-bedouin Arabic dialect is spoken.

CLOTHING The traditional clothing for women includes shawls called "mendils" made from cotton or wool. These rectangular shawls are often woven in stripes of white and red in the region. They are wrapped around the waist to form skirts. They are also used as shawls and securing holding babies or goods on the back or front of the body.

Reed hats are another traditional feature of Jebala dress for both men and women. Women's hats are often adorned with woven woollen tassels and roping of black, white and red in variations.
