It is a paddlewheel. The steam boat's engines turn it around it's axis (like a rolling pin, or a wheel), and the flat boards push against the water, forcing the water backwards and the boat goes forward.

Wonderful photos!

It's Berbers, Arabs, and mixture of them, in Morocco, not just Arabs.

Berbers are mostly Muslims, no?

"Berbers are predominantly Sunni Muslim, most belonging to the Maliki madhhab, while the Mozabites, Djerbans, and Nafusis of the northern Sahara are Ibadi Muslim. Sufi tariqas are common in the western areas, but rarer in the east; marabout cults were traditionally important in most areas.

Before their conversion to Islam, some Berber groups had converted to Christianity (often Donatist) or Judaism, while others had continued to practise traditional polytheism. Under the influence of Islamic culture, some syncretic religions briefly emerged, as among the Berghouata, only to be replaced by Islam."
