Morocco Culture by Morkosh Tours

Information about : Morocco Culture 

Morocco Culture is the richest Arab, Berber and Africa mix. Morocco has been playing the role of the intermediate between Europe and Africa, as well as the Middle East and West. Morocco is located in the north west of Africa, 10 miles of the Mediterranean sea away from Spain.

Berbers were the first inhabitants of Morocco before the Romans and the Arabs came. They are called Berbers, after the Romans as in their culture everyone does not speak or pronounce the Latin language is considered as a Berber, Barbar, Barbarian or Barbarus...etc, depending on the local accent.

Morocco Culture is alive from more than 1400 years, and it is very diverse from North to South, East to West. Moroccan dialects are the most spoken in the country. We speak 9 dialects and are bit similar, mixed out of Berber, Arabic, French, Spanish and African however Arabic is the mother tongue and French is the second one.

RELIGIONS IN MOROCCO CULTURE

The majority of Moroccans are Muslims, although Islam is the official religion. The kingdom of Morocco is considered such as the most liberal country, as freedom of religion is guaranteed by the constitutional right. Before moving to Israel Jews were the second largest religion in Morocco.
