Culture and Etiquette

Moroccan culture is a blend of Berber, Arab, and French influences. Dress modestly, especially in rural areas, to show respect for local customs. Greetings are important; a simple "Salam" (hello) goes a long way. Be mindful of Ramadan if visiting during this time, as many locals fast during daylight hours.
