Ramadan Karim to all friends around the world








Have you ever spent Ramadan in an Arab country or in Morocco? What is your feeling and what are your impressions


I spent Ramadan 2014 outside Morocco and I saw different rituals in the Arabian Gulf, especially since there are residents from different countries, mostly from India, Nepal, the Philippines and other East Asian countries.


In these countries there are tents called the Tent of the Fasting, or the fasting of the fasting, which brings together the different people who live, especially the singles.


The basic rice meal is served in these tents and is a famous meal in various Gulf countries, in addition to fruit and milk.

As in all of Ramadan, this year, the rites of this holy month for Muslims all over the world.

Many memories remained stuck in my memory about Ramadan but let me tell you about the rites of the month in Morocco.

In Morocco, there are many rituals associated with the month of Ramadan, most notably people asking for markets, before sunset.



After breakfast, they go to mosques and squares to pray Taraweeh, as well as to gardens for a little walk, which is suitable for lovers who can also meet.


Moroccan customs in Ramadan are characterized by eating, the spread of desserts, and the famous Kashbakia with dates and dates.



In Ramadan, there are also some bad habits, such as quarrels and quarrels among young people, and shouting in the afternoon in major cities.



Fasting begins in Morocco from 4:00 am and ends at 7:20 pm where the voice of the adhaan is heard.



I still remember when I was a child how happy we were to receive Ramadan and how we wanted to have breakfast so that we could have a delicious breakfast with the family.


We used to go around the television to watch the entertainment programs that were broadcast in parallel to breakfast and then go to the mosque to pray Taraweeh, and to play a little with friends, we went back home to watch a movie on TV. After that we sleep and at the time of the mournful about three or two am we wake up for Suhoor.


The atmosphere of Ramadan is similar in different cities of Morocco, and you can feel it in the afternoon and you walk in the markets. Or at night near the mosques where spirituality and love smell food.

Summer in Morocco 2025: Traditions, Daily Life, and Cultural Rhythms

  Summer in Morocco in 2025 is not only about the heat and the sunshine; it is a season of social rhythms, cultural gatherings, and daily habits that shape life across the country. As temperatures rise, Moroccans naturally adapt their routines, shifting much of their activity into the cooler hours of the evening when families and friends fill the streets, cafés, and seaside promenades. In coastal cities such as Casablanca, Rabat, and Tangier, the Atlantic breeze softens the summer atmosphere, turning the evenings into lively social occasions. Families stroll along the corniche, children play near the water, and young people gather in open cafés where mint tea and fresh juices remain essential companions to conversation. This nightly migration toward public spaces is one of the most distinctive features of Moroccan summer life. In Marrakech, Fez, and the historic towns of the interior, the story takes a different turn. The heat of the day pushes life into the shaded alleys of the...
