The page about the Moroccan customs and traditions is intended to help the "inexperienced" Central European Moroccan traveler to find their way around this Islamic country. What is described here applies to the whole of Morocco to a high degree. Different and additional information can be found in the respective local articles.
The Central European, unfamiliar traveler should familiarize himself with the customs and traditions of Morocco, before he starts the journey.
Basics
You should forget all the rules and regulations and the like that you know from home. There are no uniform step heights, rarely level pedestrian walkways, often begging people who should not be ignored and much more that one is not used to from home.
Travel in the country
punctuality
In Morocco the same applies as in the southern European countries:
- "You [the Central Europeans] have the clocks, we have the time."
Eating on time is seldom, most of the time praying, the buses and trains are fairly punctual. But: always keep calm!
By train
The main cities like Marrakech, Meknes, Fez, Tangier, Rabat, Casablanca, etc. are all connected by a reliable network of routes. On most routes there is a connection every 60-90 minutes.
Train travel in Morocco is comparatively cheap. A single trip from Tangier to Marrakech costs around 200 DH in second class, or 300 DH in first class.
Trains are a good alternative to the often overcrowded buses that take considerably longer to cover the same route. Of course, trains by no means connect all cities and towns in Morocco. As a rule, Moroccans are friendly and open-minded on the trains, and travelers are often caught up in conversations about their trip. This is often a good way to get other great travel tips.
Information can be obtained from the Internet address of the Moroccan railways to get.
In the street
Is one with the own car or that Rental car on the way, you should definitely familiarize yourself with the local traffic habits beforehand. Travelers who are only familiar with the traffic in their home country should refrain from driving in larger cities in Morocco themselves! Here are a few relevant observations:
- Traffic rules, especially right of way, are often only observed when a police officer is in sight.
- Overtaking takes place wherever the opportunity arises, whether from the right or the left. Turning maneuvers are also mostly carried out spontaneously.
- Red traffic lights are often run over: less often during the day, but almost always at night.
- As road users, not only cars, trucks and mopeds are on the road, but also bicycles, horse-drawn carriages, handcarts, pedestrians and donkey carts.
- Hardly any vehicle has proper lighting, so it is not uncommon to encounter completely unlit objects at night.
- Although the police seem to be powerless in the face of the chaotic conditions on the streets, one has to be careful of breaking the rules. If you get caught, you have to pay. Mobile radar measurements are the order of the day, especially on the arterial roads. In addition to speed restrictions, parking bans should also be taken seriously if you don't want to find a claw on your bike when you return. In accidents with personal injury, things get really serious: even if you are not at fault, the vehicle is first shut down and you often end up in a cell until the case has been resolved.
In conclusion, however, it should be said that with a decidedly defensive driving style and a little experience, you can move around the city traffic in Morocco quite well.
You can find it everywhere in the big cities Car rental companies. If you rent from the small companies, you should examine the car thoroughly beforehand and check, for example, whether a spare wheel and jack are on board. You should also note whether the contract allows the use of unpaved roads, especially if you want to drive to remote areas.
The road network is largely in order. The main cities are connected by toll highways that are still being expanded. The A1 / A3 leads from Tangier via Rabat and Casablanca to El Jadida. The A2 leads from Rabat to Fès. From Casablanca to the south, the A7 leads via Marrakech to Agadir. Further information can be found on the website of Moroccan Highway Administration.
Street signs are in Arabic and French. The traffic rules are by and large the same as in Europe, but are often not observed (see above). There are often police checks on the major roads, especially speed violations, these also in urban areas. Unless otherwise stated, the maximum permissible speed is 40 km / h. Grande taxis, Buses and trucks sometimes seem to have their own right of way, and it is better not to insist on your rights. In the roundabout, the rule is right before left, unless there are corresponding "Pay attention to the right of way" signs. It seems to the attentive Central European tourist that the red-yellow-green traffic lights contribute to the color of Moroccan road traffic, not to traffic regulation or safety. It is also noticeable that a lot of horns - apparently also without cause - are honored. A tour guide once said that this was done "so that the person ahead wakes up". Actually, it only serves to tell the others "Attention, here I come".
The fuel supply is sufficient throughout the country. You can get super unleaded, diesel and Eurodiesel practically everywhere on the main roads and in the cities.
By bus
Morocco has a fairly dense bus network. Actually every place has a bus station where you can buy tickets. There are direct connections between almost all major cities. The bus stations can be very cluttered, especially if you can't speak or read Arabic. Many timetables are in Arabic only. You can find a lot of helpful people who, however, almost always want a tip for their help, and rightly so. In smaller places there are no timetables or the like. It is best to ask the bus driver directly. Sometimes it is also common for the bus drivers to walk through the building, call out their destinations and leave when the bus is full.
Often you have the choice between taking the tourist buses with air conditioning and TV or the much cheaper and more uncomfortable buses that most locals use. In the latter you get more of the country and its people. Sometimes the buses also run other routes, apart from the tourist routes. It can be an interesting adventure to take the cheap buses.
taxi
It is common in Morocco to take a taxi. Thereby between the small taxis (petit taxi) for inner-city journeys and the large collective taxis (grand taxi) for longer journeys away from home.
Shared taxis
Shared taxis, mostly disused diesel cars from the Mercedes-Benz brand, are the fastest, but not the most convenient way of getting from one city to another. Grand taxis are usually large Mercedes sedans, where many drivers seem to be competing over who gets the most extras and decorations on the car. A beautifully presented car often suggests a good driver. It is common for the taxi to stop and take other passengers like a bus until the car is full, i.e. 2 people in the front passenger seat and 4 people in the back seat. Before big celebrations, the demand for taxi seats increases. Then the number of people carried rises to 9: In addition to the 6 passengers in the driver's compartment, there are another 3 people sitting on a wooden bench in the trunk.
There are central departure points in every city (Gare Routière), in Marrakech e.g. at Bab Doukkala 31 ° 38 '14 "N.7 ° 59 ′ 50 ″ W. and at Place Jemaa el Fna 31 ° 37 ′ 27 ″ N.7 ° 59 ′ 28 ″ W.. They are often located near bus stations, train stations, and airfields.
The price is usually based on the number of passengers, the length of the route and whether you drive back. It is advisable to inquire about the prices at the hotel, as the fixed prices are often not asked by tourists. So here too, action is required. If it is too tight in the front seat, you can buy both seats in the front. After the checkout, the driver starts.
Mini taxis
The prices are comparatively cheap, and the law stipulates that inner-city taxis have a taximeter. But that doesn't necessarily mean that they will work. Mini and grand taxis are not always state-of-the-art anyway. If you drive into the country, you occasionally ask yourself why the vehicles can still move at all.
It is advisable to insist that the taximeter is switched on (during the day). Even if the night tariff is used, it is often cheaper than a negotiated price. It is also advisable to ask the hotel about taxi prices. If - usually - the taxi driver claims that the taximeter is defective, action must be taken. Guide values are: short distance 5 DH, medium distance 10 DH, longer distance 15 DH. If action is not possible because the driver insists on a price, you should look out for another taxi and you will find that the driver has suddenly repaired the taximeter. The (always higher) price always has to be negotiated early in the morning and at night. At the end of the journey you give an appropriate tip (up to 15% of the fare).
The mini taxis have the same color in every city, but a different color in every city: In Casablanca red, in Marrakech yellow, in Tangier blue etc.
The normal togetherness
taking photos
People who feel they have been photographed often hold out the "5 Fingers of Fatima" (the open hand) to the photographer to protect themselves from the "evil eye" and to signal that they do not want to be photographed - or that they want a baksheesh . If you have already photographed them without asking, you should definitely give a baksheesh with your right hand and apologize. Even being photographed is a gift or service in Morocco that you have to pay for. Incidentally, this also applies to an answer to the question: "Where do you go to the train station or hotel anyway?".
In principle, it is forbidden to take photos of military installations.
Kissing etc.
In Morocco it is unusual for a man and woman to kiss, hug or walk hand in hand in public. This is quite common between same-sex people. To greet you, you kiss each other twice on the cheek among same-sex friends and family. If you haven't seen the other person for a long time, you kiss each other four times on the cheek. Men and women just shake hands. If you want to express respect and cordiality, bring your right hand to your mouth or heart after the handshake. The same rules apply to adoption.
Royal family
The topics of conversation that Moroccans maintain and also seek when dealing with foreigners are the same as with us: family, job and politics. Respectful togetherness also means that you do not express yourself disparagingly about the royal family, not even in your private sphere. In an emergency, this can lead to a prison sentence. A conversation about Islam should also be conducted as a listener rather than a commentator.
dress
The clothes of men and women should be restrained, sleeveless T-shirts and shorts are considered underwear! Scarce clothing belongs on the beach or the hotel pool. Otherwise, armpits and knees should be covered. Because of the heat, it is advisable to wear long sleeves and airy, wide trousers anyway. With bikini, swimsuit or swimming trunks you can swim undisturbed everywhere, nude bathing and topless for women is strictly forbidden in all of Morocco. Wearing worn or old clothing is also considered disrespectful. For women, deep necklines and tight clothing that emphasize the figure as well as skirt lengths above the knee are frowned upon, the bra is a must.
Compliments and insults
Whistling after women traveling alone may be intended as a compliment, but is not tolerated by Moroccan women and is considered offensive. You don't have to be friendly here. Dark sunglasses make it easier to avoid eye contact. If someone does not want to leave the side at all, one should keep an eye out for families and full businesses or, if necessary, ask a local woman for help. If you want, you can wear a headscarf, but this is generally not necessary. If one does not respond to the offer of the seller, especially in the tourist places, one is often insulted, a leverage of the seller. No matter how Moroccans deal with it, as a tourist you shouldn't go into it, neither smiling friendly nor angry.
Pub visits
Conservative women are generally not found in restaurants or tea rooms during the day either, but it is not criticized. Women who go to the nightlife and bars alone are often mistaken for prostitutes by the locals looking for customers. However, they are often only women who are supposed to encourage people to sell their drinks.
Smoking weed
Smoking weed is the Moroccan word for marijuana, kiff, back. In the cities around that Rif Mountains, especially in Tetouan and Chefchaouen, travelers are occasionally offered marijuana (cannabis, shit). However, the consumption and trade of hashish and weed is also a criminal offense in Morocco! However, smoking the traditional hashish pipe applies (Sebsi) not as drug use. Since the borders are sometimes fluid, you should stay away from drugs of any kind in Morocco. Drug trafficking is a major domestic problem, especially in the Rif, as many jobs are dependent on cannabis cultivation.
Buddy and other friends
One must never forget that families in Morocco have a different status than ours. Because there is no health, unemployment or pension insurance, the additional costs for those unable to work have to be borne by the clan. That is one reason why there is a much closer bond within the family in Morocco and why one shields oneself more against "intruders" than with us. In Berber, tribal society, it is common and not a contradiction in terms to benefit from someone who is loved or liked. Anyone who respects this and has a (same-sex) friend will, however, experience that this friendship is much deeper than ours. Despite frequent denials, there are hardly any friendships between men and women.
Dealing with animals
One should not be surprised that Moroccans do not treat their pets with the same friendly treatment as we know from our part of the world. A donkey, for example, is a workhorse that transports loads from A to B. The animal owner ensures that the animal is doing well, that it receives enough food and that its "master" is satisfied. In this respect, these animals are no worse off than a comparable animal in German agriculture that is only used as a draft animal, but better than any animal in factory farming. As with us, however, an attempt is occasionally made to give the donkey's will to behave in a desired direction by striking a stick. Pigs are considered unclean and are at best found in Morocco as wild boars in the Atlas, but are not used for human consumption.
The special togetherness: sex, homosexuality, prostitution
Sex is only allowed in Islam from marriage and may only be practiced in accordance with Islamic laws!
There is no such thing as homosexuality, it is forbidden. Homosexuals whose tendencies are conspicuous are shunned by society. Homosexual tourists should also pay their tribute to this attitude and should not reveal themselves, not even in the hotel, even if this is more and more tolerated and even accepted in certain localities.
What has been said about homosexuality also applies to prostitution: it doesn't exist. And if so, then those involved who offer themselves (men only for men) are socially avoided or even ostracized. Nevertheless, there should also be sex tourism, even in the form of child prostitution. It has not been proven, but it is being talked about behind the scenes.
Swell: Article in "Die Welt" from November 23, 2009 and Globalvoices
Similar to homosexuality, the following applies: Couples of different sexes with different surnames can have a problem because they cannot get a room and, if they do, have to expect a nightly police visit.
Porters and guides
In tourist areas (not only in Morocco) there are usually three tour guide classes:
- Real treasures, who are particularly keen to bring the culture, the sights and the people of Morocco closer to all their shades.
- Normal guides who only do their job, but don't tear anyone off their chair
- Countless fake tour guides who offer tours through the old town, the way to "cheap" craft shops or even to a drug dealer. Often these men are harmless, but of course you should never accept drugs or other products. Make it clear that you are not interested in their services. If they get too intrusive, look out for a taxi, go into a tea room or any other shop - then the owner usually chases the guide away. If you hire such a guide for a tour - they are often cheaper than the official guides - you should definitely agree and write down the price and the service (what will be visited and when) in advance. In addition, you should make it clear that you are not interested in shopping if that is the case.
Good guides aren't cheap. This has the advantage that the guide is not dependent on the sales commissions of the factories and restaurants visited. Many guides wear an openly shown official ID around their necks; However, "state-tested" is not a guarantee of quality.
Sometimes the impression arises that guides consider themselves too good to carry suitcases as well. The reason, however, is the hierarchical division of tasks and the fact that a suitcase-carrying guide takes the job of a porter and thus reduces his income. Therefore, the tip should also be followed not to "help" a porter by bringing his suitcase to the room yourself. You don't "give" him his tip! But beware! Always bring your suitcase to the bus or the check-in counter! It should have happened that the suitcase with its carrier suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Trade, buy and money
You should act before buying, this is taken for granted and part of good manners. Those who do not act will have a hard time in Morocco and usually, especially but not only as a tourist, pay too much.
It is worth visiting the weekly markets. They are mostly outside the built-up areas on neutral ground on the arterial roads, where not only donkeys and mopeds, but also cars and trucks can get there unscathed. As in the souks of the big cities, the markets are sorted according to offer groups, and you can often watch craftsmen making the products. You don't buy a “Made in China product”.
In Morocco, cash is usually paid in markets. Credit cards are accepted by major shops, restaurants, hotels and petrol stations. In any case, it is advisable to ask before buying whether and which credit card is accepted. There are ATMs for issuing the Moroccan currency Dirham (DH) at practically every bank branch.
Many Moroccans who work in Central Europe and return home rave about the high standard of living here and, through one-sided information, convey a picture that the European tourist is in any case rich and can spend as much in one night at the hotel bar as a teacher in Morocco does earned whole month. The false image of the tourist can also lead to the expectation that he as a "friend" treats his Moroccan "friend" generously and even invites him home, not knowing how hard many tourists have to work to afford the annual vacation can.
baksheesh
Baksheesh is the Persian word for "gift" or gift. "As mentioned elsewhere on this page, a tip, as we say, is a small reward for a service or service, for a gift for which there is a gift in return. This is not begging, it is part of the everyday income of Moroccans. Three tips:
- Give an appropriate tip, ask at the hotel reception or your guide!
- Do not give money to begging children! Otherwise the children learn to beg faster than to write, read and do arithmetic.
- Always give baksheesh to me with the right, "pure" hand. The gift with the left amounts to an insult.
In hotels it is customary to give room staff up to 3 DH per day, in restaurants 5% of the bill, but at least 1 DH. The bus driver gets 2-3 DH per day and passenger, the taxi driver also a small tip. The guide of a travel company is happy about 2-3 DH per day and passenger. You have to take into account that a Moroccan worker earns an average of 2500 DH a month, i.e. not even 100 DH a day Tipping is common in Europe; in the long run, it only spoils the way you deal with tourists.
Eating, drinking, smoking
If you are invited to dinner, which happens more often in Morocco than here, but less often than in other Arab regions, you should bring a modest gift, e.g. sweets ("sugar loaf") or fruit.
Unless you eat with a knife and fork in a hotel restaurant, but in a street restaurant or in a Moroccan family as a guest, you eat with your right hand if there is no cutlery, the left hand is considered unclean. Another reason not to give money, even to beggars, with the left. People usually drink after a meal, in a more delicious, freshly prepared manner Mint tea. Pork, including wild boar, is not used in Moroccan cuisine, but poultry, lamb and beef. Fruits or vegetables that have not been peeled should not be eaten raw. Cooked or fried food is usually not a problem. It is best to only drink water from bottles and not from the tap.
The guest gets the largest piece of meat that was previously cut up personally by the host. The honor of receiving meat from him should be honored by accepting the meat.
When you are full, you can do the cook a great honor with a “Baraka Allahu fik” (“May the blessings of Allah be upon you”). By the way, wishing Allah's blessings is a common way of dealing with one another.
Although there is not as much meat eaten in Morocco as here, it is difficult for vegetarians to get meat-free food because even the simplest tagines contain a small piece of meat. So-called vegetarian tagines also contain meat during the cooking process, which is then removed before serving.
Smoking is now banned in all public buildings and in most restaurants. Smoking in public is completely prohibited during the day during Ramadan. However, many hotels and restaurants offer smoking corners or refer to balconies, terraces and outdoor areas for smokers.
Celebrations and events
Two festivals are already traditional: the Gnaoua Festival in Essaouira and the “Musique sacrale” festival in Fez. In the meantime - the modernization of the country makes it possible - other cities have also discovered the magnetic effect of festivals for themselves, especially Marrakech with its film festival. But you don't have to mix with the many international stars, you can also visit smaller festivities that are definitely attractive. An overview of festivals in Morocco can be found here.
security
Common sense recommends:
- Avoid dark alleys or at least enter in a group
- Travel in groups whenever possible if you have little travel experience
- Keep your money and ID in a secure inside pocket or in the hotel safe
- Always carry rucksacks and bags with you. Always make sure that there is nothing important in the outside pockets.
- As a woman, never go out late at night alone or without a male companion
hygiene
The hygienic conditions in Morocco come off badly compared to ours, also because a different attitude towards demands prevails. For example, only in upscale restaurants and European-oriented hotels are there toilet seats, toilet paper and urinals. Otherwise, after using the squat toilet, you clean yourself with running cold water from the tap that is attached to every toilet. For this one uses the left, therefore "impure" hand. Tourists are advised to always carry some toilet paper with them. As with us, it is improper to do your business outdoors. You go to a restaurant or a hotel.
It is positive that, as with us, before entering a house, especially a mosque, one's shoes are taken off.
Islam and religious cult
Islam is the dominant religion. It is the basis of laws, which in turn form the basis of everyday life. Almost all Moroccans are Muslims. Christians and Jews live inconspicuously, even if Jews are inseparable from Moroccan history. The first "Moroccan" Jews probably came here with the Phoenicians. Hebrew scriptures were found in the Roman settlement Volubilis. The Jewish quarters of the medium to large cities are called Mellah (pron.mlá). Islam has no saints like the Christian church. But since Mohammed there have been Muslims who are closer to their God Allah than others. Initially, these were the closest relatives of the founder of the religion. The Marabouts are Islamic quasi-saints who enjoy a special veneration due to their surroundings. After their death, they are buried in whitewashed small mausoleums with domed roofs. The tombs are also called marabout and are considered pilgrimage sites on certain holidays Barak of the deceased requested.
public holidays
Since Morocco is a Muslim country, the corresponding holidays apply, especially Ramadan. The national holiday is July 30th (day of Muhammad VI's accession to the throne, 1999).
Ramadan
Ramadan is a month of fasting that is determined and determined anew every year based on the position of the moon. The current data is at the Wikipedia here to read.
In Ramadan everything goes a little slower: Since no physical needs are allowed to be met during the day (apart from going to the toilet and personal hygiene), many Moroccans become restless and impatient in the afternoons - hunger, thirst and cravings for smoke appear. Patience and understanding are required for those affected. On a bus trip with a driver and guide, these two will probably ensure that the trip ends at a restaurant or hotel at sunset.

Reise beendet: Was darf man mitnehmen?
Auf die Mitnahme von Mitbringseln tierischen oder pflanzlichen Ursprungs sollte generell verzichtet werden, wenn deren Herkunft nicht nachvollzogen werden kann. So fügt man der Tier- und Pflanzenwelt Marokkos keinen Schaden zu. Empfehlenswert sind stattdessen landestypische Textilien, Keramik, Metall- und Glasarbeiten oder Malereien.
Sollte man noch erkleckliche Summen an Dirhams besitzen, kann man diese im Flughafen oder an der Grenze umtauschen. 1000 DH ist die Toleranzgrenze.
Wer Steine als Souvenirs mitbringen möchte, sollte bedenken, dass es ein Problem geben kann, wenn mehr als 10 Stück mitgeführt werden. Die Ausfuhr von Fossilien und Halbedelsteinen bedarf einer Erlaubnis!
Eine Genehmigung des Ministeriums für Kultur braucht man bei der Ausfuhr von Kunst- oder Kulturgegenständen, Antiquitäten und Sammlerstücken sowie echt wirkenden Repliken. Zöllner sind keine Kunstexperten, und ohne entsprechende Bescheinigung kann man der Ausfuhr von Kulturgütern verdächtigt werden. Pornos sind absolut verboten, kritische Zöllner könnten auch eine normale deutsche Zeitung als pornografische Schrift einstufen.
Besondere Zurückhaltung ist geboten, wenn Fremde darum bitten, dass man für sie etwas mitnimmt: Es könnte Rauschgift oder andere verbotenen Güter darin versteckt sein.
Die Ausfuhr von frischen Lebensmittel wie Fleisch, Käse, Milch oder Butter aus Marokko ist zwar erlaubt, aber die Einfuhr in die EU nicht. Zu bedenken sind auch die Regelungen bezüglich des Artenschutzes. Viele Produkte dürfen in die EU nicht eingeführt werden, weil sie aus geschützten Tieren oder Pflanzen bzw. Teilen davon hergestellt sind. Schildkrötenpanzer werden zu Instrumenten, Haarspangen und Schalen verarbeitet, Häute von Echsen oder Schlangen zu Leder, Einfuhr in die EU verboten. Auch Samen von exotischen Pflanzen sind beliebte, aber auch verbotene Souvenirs. Vorsicht ist auch geboten bei gefälschter Markenware: der deutsche Zoll ist hier streng und unnachgiebig. Es drohen Beschlagnahme und Strafen. Gleiches gilt bei Kunstgegenständen, auch wenn der marokkanische Zoll diese passieren ließ. Zu berücksichtigen sind im Übrigen die Freigrenzen, die für die Wiedereinreise aus einem Nicht-EU-Staat gelten.
Trostpflaster: Auch wenn alle diese Hinweise berücksichtigt werden, gibt es noch eine Menge an Mitbringseln, die ungestraft über zwei Grenzen gebracht werden können und zuhause Freude machen.
