Though in his late 70s, this witty and insightful multi-lingual walking tour guide proved amazingly agile and possessed uncanny physical endurance. He is a Berber gentleman and is fluent in Berber, Arabic, French, and English.

It is also believed that the blue color is a naturally repellent to mosquitoes.
