Some of Moroccan Culture



Morocco is a beautiful country in the south of Africa , he has two sides mediterranean one , and the atlantic one ,  his people are very friendly and lovely , also there's a mix of people of many kinds( Amazigh , Arab , Sahara .... )  each one of them has hiw own culture and traditions , there's also a mix of religions but the official religion is islam but we can find also jewish , christians ....




Starting from the Amazigh culture , as we know amazighs are in the north of morocco ( AlHoceima - Nador - Tangier - Tetouan ...) , most of them are muslims ,so you shouldn't wear skimpy clothes, kissing and cuddling in public, or eating or smoking in the street during Ramadan , If you need fun you'll find it because there are many exhibtions of handicrafts and handmade every summer also festivals  (mediterranean music festival as an exemple) also beautiful beaches in Al Hoceima like Kimado and Carabonita .

Traditionally the men take to the streets and the women are in control of their homes. This means that you will not often find woman in cafés or restaurants. If you are a woman and you strike up a friendship, you will likely be invited to the person’s home or to a hamman (bath) for further association. On the other hand, if you are a man or a man and woman traveling together, you will likely be invited into a café for some tea or a meal.

In general, Moroccan culture can be an exiting and worldly experience. The people are friendly and the place is colorful. Hospitality is really a part of their culture so you can strike up friendships virtually anywhere if you have the right attitude. Usually this results in further association with these dynamic and interesting people and a real taste of Moroccan life.

I think you're asking about Art ,There is a yearly event for Moroccan Arts hosted at  Casablanca International Art Fair. Several international artists use Morocco as an inspirational ground like well known French artist Matisse. Authentic Berber Arts and Moroccan arts can be seen at Municipal Amazigh Museum, museums in Rabat, Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah at Essaouira, and Maison Tiskiwin- Bert Flint Museum .


Moroccan culture is also praised for language diversity. apart from classical Arabic, the language of education, administration and media, the daily language in Morocco is Arabic dialect, Tamazight (Berber) which spoken in the Rif, the Atlas, and the Souss and it varies by region. Most Moroccans speak French, many speak Spanish and English.


Moroccan food elegantly accommodates vegetables and fruits bursting with sunshine, rare spices and fragrant, delicate, tasty fish and meat couscous... The best of oriental cuisine, famous throughout the world, put your taste buds to feast.

The main Moroccan dishes to taste absolutely: Skewers: at the entrance of a souk, a place near a road is cooked before your eyes. It is delicious, quick and economical.

Couscous: it's the traditional family lunch on Friday, but you will find it every day in the restaurant. During your trip you can enjoy many couscous dishes because it varies by region and creativity of the
cook. Try not to use a spoon to eat, but rather your fingers, experience Moroccan culture. Mechoui lamb: roasted on a spit or baked. The meat melts in your mouth!



Pastilla: a thin pastry stuffed with pigeon and almonds: the famous sweet to savory Moroccan dish.

There are variations in fish, chicken and even pudding for dessert.



Dishes of Ramadan at sunset the fast is broken (f'tour) with the rich and tasty harira, soup meat, lentils, chick peas, with beghrir, small pancakes honeycomb served with melted butter and honey, shebbakias, cakes fried in oil and coated with honey. This is "light" snack but wait for the real dinner that takes place later in the night.

Tagine: this word refers to both the container (flat earthenware decorated with typical conical lid) and content (stew of meat, poultry, fish and vegetables cooked in, crushed). Taste? you will understand
why the tajine is the national dish of Morocco.

Moroccan tea: it quenches thirst, warm, riveted, to drink in the morning, after meals, at any time. A pleasure never refuse. The baking cakes with honey, horns of gazelles, Feqqas almonds, raisins, almonds ghoriba, sesame ...
