A F R I C A - N O R T H  1. Question- What is the culture of North Africa?  2. Answer- Culture includes: food, clothing, homes, jobs, language, etc. Some Africans take their free time and pray several times a day! Cultures in different places have common elements. In many rural villages in Morocco, EX: houses are made of thick adobe. Thick adobe walls help keep out the heat. Adobe houses are found in many African rural areas: like Mexico and Southwestern USA. North Africa ’s mix of traditional and modern ways of life shows that culture doesn’t stay the same forever- it changes all the time. Here is an example of a house in a rural area, it is an adobe house. I chose this picture because; it explains the lives of the rural Africans.
