Morocco

Salam Alekoum! Or, hello as you say in America. My name is Ahmad, and I want to welcome you to Morocco. You might have never heard of my country before; it is in North Africa. I am glad you are coming — we will have lots of fun during your stay.

Fun Facts

People have been living in Morocco since the end of the Stone Ages! Around 670 AD, Islamic influence spread to Morocco, forming the beginning of the culture that has existed to this day.

The capital of Morocco is Rabat and the population is almost 32 million!
The currency in Morocco is the dirham. The dirham is divided into 100 centimes.
Moracco’s official language is Classical Arabic, but the dialect in our country is Moroccan Arabic.

Food in Morocco is a mix of many different cultures. We use a lot of spices with all our dishes. Beef, lamb, and chicken are popular meats. A type of grain known as couscous is a favorite among Moroccans. Some of our favorite meals are pastilla, a meat pie made with pigeon or chicken; tajine, lamb or chicken with fruit and spices, and harira, a thick soup made with lentils, egg, and meat.
