Traditional clothing and food

MOROCCAN CLOTHING

Moroccan clothes are traditionally rich and varied – variety of fabrics, shapes and colors expressing a certain art of draping – Moroccan costume for man or woman comes by local cultures of each region or each social group.

TRADITIONAL FOOD

Moroccan food is big on flavour, full of color, and rich in taste. From creamy hummus, to melt in your mouth tajines, be prepared to leave with satisfied taste buds and a rounder belly. Try to go beyond the abundance of tajines and couscous on offer – as tasty as they are, there’s a lot more to experience. Head to Marrakech’s Jemaa El Fna, a large square that fills with food stalls at night, to try spicy merguez sausages, fried fish, and the freshest salads that will ever pass your lips. Lamb is by far the most popular meat out here, and is thrown into a variety of meals with prunes and spices, but you’ll also come across some interesting pigeon and camel concoctions. Veggies have no need to feel left out as tajines are commonly cooked without the meat, and there’s loads of fulfilling dishes such as b’sarra (white bean soup) and Harira (Morocco’s famous tomato and lentil soup).
