Morocco & Ramadan

Just wondering: there's a few people going to Morocco during Ramadan. What do non-muslims do for food during Ramadan?


Ride safe & enjoy.

Do a search for 'Ramadan' and you'll find plenty on this subject.
E.g. "our planned trip to morocco coincides with Ramadam"

Personally, I'm looking forward to sleeping later and getting home earlier in the UAE.

Hi

I was there last year during Ramadan, basically all stores was closed the morning, it's very difficult to find something to eat at least in the areas where I was, this means not touristic places. We stopped in small Moroccans hotels and during Ramadan it was impossible to have breakfast the morning.
But in the evening the situation is totally different, every stores are open you can buy every thing, Moroccans are out, there are many peoples in the streets in the bars etc..., peoples are often friendly because evenings are like a party for them.
To my opinion, Ramadan is not a problem to visit Morroco.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
