Food:

Moroccan cuisine is a rich and diverse mix of Arabic, Berber, and Mediterranean flavors, with an emphasis on fresh ingredients, spices, and slow-cooked meats. As a poor backpacker, you will be delighted to find that Moroccan food is not only delicious but also affordable and available everywhere.
Street food is a staple in Morocco, and the vendors and markets offer a wide range of traditional dishes, from crispy fried doughnuts called “sfinge” to savory meat-filled pastries known as “b’stilla.” You can also find fresh fruits and vegetables, like juicy oranges, sweet dates, and crunchy carrots. Most street food vendors sell snacks and light meals like roasted nuts, dried fruits, and grilled meats.
Food stalls and restaurants are aplenty in the souks and medinas, with their filling and tasty meals. The most typical dish of all is, of course, the tagine, which is a sort of stew made with meat, vegetables, and dried fruits, prepared in a clay pot with a conical lid. You will also find a variety of couscous dishes, such as the traditional Friday lunch of steamed semolina flour topped with vegetables, meat, and sauce.
The cuisine is also famous for its rich and aromatic spices, which include cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and ginger. These spices are commonly mixed with olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice in a sauce that is both flavorful and aromatic. You’ll also come across a variety of sweet pastries and desserts, including the famous “makroud,” a date-filled pastry made with semolina flour and honey.
As a budget traveler, you are in luck because eating out in Morocco is quite cheap. You will get a good meal from a local restaurant or a food stall for around 20-50 MAD ($2-$5 USD). Moreover, many riads and hostels provide free breakfast that normally includes different types of bread, pastries, and coffee or tea.
As for the drinking aspect, Morocco takes a very strict policy in terms of liquor, and public drinking is generally frowned upon. You’ll find alcohol in some areas that cater to tourists and also in larger cities, with many restaurants and bars offering local beers and wine. Alternatively, you can go for some delicious and refreshing drinks, like mint tea, orange juice, or an avocado smoothie.
Besides the delicious food and drinks, Morocco is famous for its markets and souks, which are vibrant. Such busy markets are selling everything: from fresh vegetables and fruits up to spices, textiles, and handicrafts. As a poor backpacker, you’ll love browsing through the stalls and finding unique souvenirs and gifts.
When you go to the markets, make sure you haggle; they expect it in the Moroccan culture. The final prices are never the exact value shown, so be sure not to be afraid to walk away if you do not agree with the price of anything, and show good morals and politeness whenever approaching or talking to a vendor.
Moroccan cuisine indeed tells a lot about the cultural heritage of the country, standing at the crossroads of Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. If you are a broke backpacker, then you will easily get enough opportunities to try the local food from streets, markets, restaurants, and cafes.

Culture:

Morocco is a country with a rich and diverse cultural heritage, standing at the crossroads of Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. Its unique blend of Arabic, Berber, and Mediterranean influences can be seen in its vibrant arts scene, stunning architecture, and warm hospitality.
The essence of Moroccan culture is based on hospitality, which has deep roots in the traditions and customs of the country. Visitors are often welcomed with a warm smile, sweet mint tea, and offerings of food and shelter. This welcoming attitude has been deeply rooted in the country through its Islamic heritage, with an emphasis on generosity, kindness, and respect to guests.
The culture of Morocco is also greatly influenced by the Berber heritage, which traces its roots back thousands of years. The Berbers, generally referred to as Amazigh, are the first inhabitants of Morocco. Berber, or Amazigh, is a common language, along with its customs and traditions, which survives in the modern-day cultural life of Morocco. Many Moroccans proudly identify as Berbers; the country’s Berber heritage is honored through music, dance, and art.
The outstanding thing about Moroccan culture is the amazing architecture that reflects the country’s rich history and cultural diversity. From intricately designed tile work and ornate arches in Alhambra-inspired palaces to colorful souks and bustling medinas, Morocco’s architecture is a feast for the eyes. From the Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakech to the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, the country’s most renowned architectural landmarks reflect upon the rich cultural heritage of Morocco and how the country has blended so many styles and influences over the years.
Moroccan culture is also renowned for its dynamic arts: music, dance, and visual arts. Traditional Moroccan music includes Andalusian classical music and Gnawa folk music, which are considered very beautiful and emotionally deep. Moroccan dance, including the traditional Berber dances, is also an integral part of the country’s cultural heritage. Besides, Moroccan visual arts, such as painting, sculpture, and textiles, are highly valued for their beauty and craftsmanship.
In Morocco, the family and community are highly valued, and the social bonds are strong. Most often, the closeness of the communities centers on the local mosque, where people come to pray, socialize, and engage in other activities with the community. Moroccans also place a high regard on respect for elders, tradition, and authority, as reflected in customs and etiquette.
Moroccan culture is also greatly influenced by its Islamic heritage, which plays an important role in the daily life of the country. The call to prayer, echoing from the minarets of the mosques five times a day, is part of Moroccan culture, and many Moroccans observe the Islamic holy days and festivals, such as Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr.
Despite its strong cultural traditions, Morocco is a modern and rapidly changing country; it boasts a growing economy and an increasingly globalized culture. The youth of the country are especially embracing modernity and globalization, while still holding on to strong cultural identity and tradition.
Besides its rich cultural heritage, Morocco is also geographically very diverse, boasting a range of landscapes and ecosystems that stretch from the snow-capped Atlas Mountains to the arid Sahara Desert. Its natural beauty makes it an attractive country to tourists, and many Moroccans take pride in the uniqueness and variety of their country’s landscapes.
Moroccan cuisine is another important attribute of the culture of this country, having rich and aromatic flavors due to the strategic location at the junction of Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. Traditional Moroccan food items, like tagine, couscous, and harira, are great delicacies and nutritious, which are usually prepared on any occasion or social gathering.
In Morocco, “asabiya” or community is a cherished concept and social bonds are strong. Most communities in Morocco are tight-knit, often with the local mosque as the center where people meet to pray, hold social events, and participate in community activities. Moroccans also have a strong regard for respect towards elders, tradition, and authority, which is reflected in customs and etiquette.
Moroccan culture is also proud of its rich and colorful folklore, which includes stories, legends, and myths passed down through generations. The folklore of the country is highly valued for both its cultural significance and entertainment value, hence mostly performed during social gatherings and special occasions.
In conclusion, Moroccan culture is a rich tapestry of influences and traditions combined. From the marvelous architecture to the pulsating arts scene, the close family ties, and Islamic influences, Morocco is one of those countries whose history still has a deep grip, yet it is still in sync with the modern world for all its challenges and opportunities.
