Please note this episode was originally produced last year and has been thoughtfully recreated this year with updated storytelling and sound design.
Grab your imaginary passports and hop aboard the Culture Train, because today we are traveling to the Sahara Desert in Morocco, located in North Africa, where golden sand dunes stretch as far as the eye can see.
On this immersive adventure, Kristen and Asher meet Mohammed, a local Amazigh (Berber) tour guide who grew up in the Sahara Desert and speaks seven languages. With Mohammed as our guide, we learn what daily life is like in the desert and what it means to grow up in a nomadic community.
What the word “Sahara” means in Arabic
Where Morocco is located and why it’s known for colorful cities and vast deserts
Who the Amazigh (Berber) people are and why they are the Indigenous people of North Africa
The languages spoken in Morocco, including Arabic, Amazigh, French, and more
Moroccan mint tea traditions, including why bubbles matter
Riding dromedary camels and learning why they have one hump
How desert homes are built using mud, clay, and hay to stay cool and warm
Why soccer is loved by kids all over the world
Desert adventures like sandboarding and watching the sunset over the dunes
Through gentle conversation, sound-rich storytelling, and lots of imagination, this episode helps kids picture life in the Sahara while learning how environment, culture, and history shape the way people live.
This episode features Mohammed, a local Amazigh guide who grew up in the Sahara Desert and now shares Moroccan culture, language, and desert life with families from around the world.
