Ramadan is a special time in Morocco. While the pace of life slows down during the day, it explodes with joy and community spirit after sunset.

1. Eating and Drinking

Out of respect for those fasting, avoid eating, drinking, or smoking in public during daylight hours. Most hotels and tourist-focused restaurants still serve food, but it is best to be discreet.

2. Opening Hours

Sites and shops often open later and close earlier to allow people to prepare for the "Iftar" (breaking of the fast). Plan your sightseeing for the morning.

3. The Iftar Experience

Being in Morocco during Iftar is magical. The streets go silent, and then the air fills with the smell of Harira soup and sweets. Try to join an Iftar meal if invited—it is the height of Moroccan hospitality.
