Moroccan Arabic For Foreigners

Morocco's ethnic sophistication is awe-inspiring and mind-boggling. The North African country's signature charms include pisé mud-brick Berber architecture, Spanish Andalusian-influenced melhoune pop, and delicious ras el hanout spices. Morocco, located less than 10 miles from Spain across the Strait of Gibraltar, crosses both the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, as well as Algeria to the east. Morocco's main Berber and Arab communities are complemented by components of French, Roman, Jewish, Spanish, and other customs - a diverse blend! Traveling inside Morocco's boundaries is like taking a trip across the whole Mediterranean Basin and beyond. Morocco's land and inhabitants have many stories to share, from the summits of the Atlas Mountains to the Valley of the Kasbahs to the Grand Casablanca Coast. Spirituality and faith are vital aspects of Moroccan history and daily life, as they are in many other parts of North Africa and the Middle East. Although accepting religious rights, the Moroccan Muslim minority accounts for almost all of the country's population. The bulk of these are Sunni, and visiting Morocco during Ramadan provides a glimpse into their way of life. Men and women will be dressed in robe-like robes and headwear that embody this and other Islamic regions of the world, and a minor-key-sounding call to prayer will be broadcast from rooftop loudspeakers. Beauty and intrigue can be found everywhere for visitors to enjoy and learn about, both directly from Moroccan citizens and by tours of religious, historic, and museum sites. Food is one of several facets of Moroccan society that should be celebrated! We may be familiar with dishes like couscous, but seeing the many popular Moroccan meals in their homeland is a real treat. Communal meals are frequently served from a low round table while seated on the floor, and are eaten with hands rather than flatware. Morocco is a place of diversity in landscapes, people and stories. People from Morocco are proud of their heritage, and to travel in their homeland is to be gifted the adventure of a lifetime.
