==History== | |||
In the beginning, Mooritaniyah was a vast and untamed land, populated by tribes of hunter-gatherers who roamed the savannahs and forests, living off the land and the animals they hunted. Over time, these tribes grew and developed, forming communities and learning to cultivate crops and raise livestock. | |||
As the centuries passed, Mooritaniyah became a crossroads of trade and commerce, with merchants and traders from all over the world coming to exchange goods and ideas. The region's strategic location on the coast of West Africa made it an important center of the trans-Saharan trade, with caravans carrying gold, salt, and other valuable commodities across the desert to North Africa and beyond. | |||
In the 11th century, Mooritaniyah was invaded by the Almoravids, a Berber dynasty from North Africa. They brought with them the teachings of Islam, which soon spread throughout the region, coexisting with traditional African beliefs and customs. The Almoravids established the city of Marrakech as their capital and built a network of fortifications and trading posts throughout the region. | |||
Over the centuries, Mooritaniyah continued to evolve and develop, with various kingdoms rising and falling, and the region becoming a center of scholarship, art, and culture. In the 19th century, the French colonized the region, imposing their rule and suppressing local customs and traditions. The country gained its independence in 1960, after a long and difficult struggle for freedom. | |||
Today, Mooritaniyah is a thriving and dynamic country, with a rich mix of cultures and traditions. Its people are proud of their heritage and traditions, and work hard to preserve and promote them in the face of modernization and globalization. The country is known for its vibrant music, dance, and art scenes, as well as its delicious cuisine and welcoming hospitality. Despite the challenges it faces, Mooritaniyah is a country with a bright and promising future. | |||
==Climate== | |||
Mooritaniyah features a hot desert climate (BWh) with very high temperatures all over the year and arid conditions in most of the territory. During summer, diurnal temperatures easily exceed {{convert|45|C|F}} when there's not even a single cloud in the sky. However, at night, temperatures can reach below {{convert|10|C|F}} even in the aestival season. | |||
Rainfall is only seen during winter, being December and January the only months of the year in which it rains more than 0.5 mm. | |||
