Living in Morocco, North Africa

The Kingdom of Morocco, which is its official name, has a very diverse and dramatic landscape: from the Sahara Desert to the snow peaked mountains. Europe is also within easy reach, as Gibraltar is just a 35 minute journey on the fast ferry from Tangier.

The official language in Morocco is Arabic but Berber (a dialect) is also spoken as is French, which is often spoken in business. If you are settling here with family, you will find both British and French schools, and these are of an excellent standard. The international schools are very good, but the country as a whole has a low literacy rate with only 60 per cent of Moroccans able to read and write.

Expats generally have a good standard of living with affordable domestic help, which frees up your leisure time. Many people enjoy an outdoorsy style lifestyle, which features hiking, skiing and biking among the leisure activities.

The Moroccan people as a whole are both friendly and welcoming. However, as it is a predominantly Muslim country (99 per cent Muslim) it is important to dress conservatively and respectfully.

Weather in Morocco

Morocco has a Mediterranean climate in the north, with hot and dusty summers and cool, mild winters. It also has a Maritime climate around the forestry area, which allows for the growth of rich plants and greenery.

Religion in Morocco

Morocco is a 99 per cent Muslim country and most of the population follow Sunni Islam. Although non-Muslims form the minority, freedom of other faiths is also accepted and the country has a minority of Christians and Jews.

Population and Economy in Morocco

Morocco has a population of more than 30 million people and its capital is Rabat, however, the largest city is Casablanca. If you require removals to Africa to settle in Morocco, other big cities are: Tangier, Marrakesh, Fes, Sale, Oujda, Nador, Tetouan, Meknès, Kenitra and Agadir.

Morocco has a very diverse economy; it is the largest exporter of phosphorus reserves in the world and also exports fruit and textiles. The country has a growing tourist industry and attracts about 8 million tourists a year and most of these are European.

Food and Culture in Morocco

If you are moving here, you won't be disappointed by the Moroccan food, which has lots of flavour and spices. As well as traditional fare such as tangine and couscous, you can also get fusions with French and Spanish influences.

You would normally eat your meal with your right hand and you can expect to see bread served with every meal. Among some of the most common spices in Moroccan dishes are: saffron, mint, coriander, cumin and also turmeric.

Meat is widely eaten and the most popular type of meat is lamb, chicken and rabbit. You may also find seafood and camel on the menu.

Your meal would be followed by a glass of mint tea.

Lifestyle and Etiquette in Morocco

If you require removals to Africa to settle in Morocco, it is important to find out more about the customs of the country you are moving to.

A greeting in the form of a handshake is common between sexes, but if it is a greeting between a man and a woman, a woman will either extend her hand first, or the man will bow his head as a greeting.

If you are invited to a person's home you would bring a gift to the hostess and a small gift for the children. Remove your shoes at the door and dress smartly. Shake everyone's hand to greet them.

Use the washing bowl to clean your hands before and after the meal and don't start eating until your host has blessed the food. It is likely that water will be served in the form of a communal glass. If this is the case, ask for a soft drink if you would prefer not to drink out of the same glass as everyone else.
