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.

Harira is one of the most famous cuisine in Moroccan cuisine, along with couscous, rafissa, tajine and other Moroccan dishes. Al-Harira increases in the month of Ramadan, which is considered one of the most important meals at breakfast time in villages and cities. No one is ignorant of the Moroccan harira, so tourists know it well and demand it in popular restaurants in cities and fine restaurants near the sea, in malls and in hotels. In  villages, the children move around their mothers preparing the harira for taste, as they are fasting and give their children some harira to taste. It consists of a famous drink of flour, water and vegetables with the addition of meat or eggs, chickpeas, lentils, metalus and also a little spices. Cook the ingredients in a saucepan, add to the amount of flour and water and stir well until it takes a color that tends to yellow, and is served.
