Waiting or sells something? What are the metal cups for?

Asher, they are the water sellers of Morocco. Selling water from camel leather bags in copper cups ( that transfers a metallic taste to your mouth, but nevertheless refreshing on a hot summer day! ).
Clad head to toe in decorative dress, Berber caps, shiny shoes, polished decorations and cups, they have become iconic.
And they have become rich by posing for tourists, so much so that nowadays most, if not all, are just in it for posing for a group photo with the Franj!
For a most real life water bearer one has to visit Casa..the most Westernized city in Morocco!!
Best.
