You hit the head of the nail now. Arabs and Berber people, formally make up the population. And many blacks live there because of slavery. Honestly that is how the 1.2 percent of christains got there orginaly, salvery. Kudos to you.

Have to get past the culture, BS there culture is mixed. You have to understand the culture to not go into culture shock...period. Read and read and read some more, talk to people, go to a mosque that is in the area and talk to informed people. There is no reason for culture to be a problem, if you do your homework, and if you don't well then.......
