MOROCCO: The Kingdom That Has Never Been One Country | 4K Travel Documentary

For more than a thousand years, Morocco has kept its throne in an unbroken line — outlasting the Romans, refusing the Ottomans, holding longer than almost any other dynasty on Earth. And for most of that time, its king did not actually rule the country. He ruled the cities. The mountains and deserts paid him nothing. The French eventually gave the two halves names: bled al-makhzen, the land of government — and bled al-siba, the land of dissidence. Somehow, Morocco was both at once. In this documentary, discover how a single throne held together a land that never quite agreed to be one country — from the medieval university still teaching in Fez, to Moulay Ismail's imperial city at Meknes, to the high valleys of the Atlas, the great trade gateway at the edge of the Sahara, the Atlantic ramparts of Essaouira, the blue town of Chefchaouen, and the proud northern mountains that, in the 1920s, briefly became a republic of their own. Take a breath. Stay a while. This is the kingdom that has spent a thousand years learning how to be more than one country. ▶ See More Africa Documentaries: INDONESIA:    • INDONESIA: The Country Spread Across 17,00...   SIBERIA:    • SIBERIA: The Continent Inside a Country | ...   ▶ Subscribe:    / @uncutearth4k   #Morocco #TravelDocumentary #Documentary #UncutEarth #NorthAfrica #Maghreb
