How much money does a camel cost in morocco?
Bought 2 large but somewhat older males 40+ yo (Becomes a bit hard to determine from there on) @ the Tétouan market for 22.000 Dirham + 600 Dirham (about $ 1300 a piece) for the middle man who know how to check their health, but by no means a vet. This was in end of 2011 and when we tried to sell them after 4 months we were offered 14.600 Dirham, guess we were paying their middle man now ($850 a piece), which we took on the 3rd day. I assume the real value must be somewhat in the middle of these extremes. Unless you're on the run from the law, or a plain crazy massochist, I would see no reason to buy one for any other reason than its meat, which you couldn't stomach after spending any lenght of time with one : the horror of the sound, sight (esp. them pissing in their own mouth) and above all the smell ....
True, but like a horse : it may be strong but unless it's a race horse, it won't fetch more than the price of the meat ...
Do children wear uniforms in Morocco?
Most Moroccan children go to school, especially in the cities. However, public schools in Morocco are terribly underfunded and have high dropout rates, especially in high school. In rural and poorer areas, large numbers of children work either formally or informally rather than going to school because their families need the income. Additionally, in rural areas, many children only speak Tarifit, Tamazight, Tashlichit, or other Amazigh (Berber) languages and find the Arabic/Derija language school system very difficult to learn.
Wealthy Moroccans often go to private schools.

There are two definitions for what defines the eastern and western hemispheres of the Earth.
The proper definition is that the western hemisphere includes all points west of the Prime Meridian up to the 180-degree line and the eastern hemisphere includes all points east of the Prime Meridian up to 180-degree line. According to this definition, Morocco is in the western hemisphere because it is west of the Prime Meridian.
