by Craig Priestley, HomeStay International
Over a dozen horsemen come bearing down on me at a gallop, rifles raised above their heads. Just as I start to panic, they rein in hard and bring their horses to a skidding halt no more than two metres from me, simultaneously firing a volley of shots into the air. Welcome to Morocco…
I’m in the dusty countryside, watching the “fantasia” – a traditional harvest celebration, where groups representing different villages compete in these displays of horsemanship. As another volley of rifle shots explodes into the air I’m reminded of the fact that ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ was filmed in Morocco.
