The Moroccan cultural heritage is extremely diverse. It ranges from the craft industry, historical monuments, music,
customs, cuisine to many other things. The Moroccan craft industry is known for its beauty, great taste and the diversity
it derived from being opened to many civilizations. The products of Moroccan handcraft are appreciated worldwide and
it is exported to many parts of the world. Moreover, the Moroccan architectural heritage is characterized by the rich
diversity of its monuments and archaeological sites. Many old Moroccan cities and historical sites and monuments are
recognized as part of the world’s cultural heritage. The old Medina of Fès and the famous Jamaa El-Fna Place in
Marrakech, recognized by the UNESCO as part of the World cultural heritage, are examples showing the value and the
richness of Moroccan historical heritage. In addition, Moroccan Folklore reflects the costumes and the traditions of the
Moroccan people. Each region has a unique type of folklore; for instance, we find Gnawa in the region of Marrakech,
Gharnati in Oujda, Malhoune in old cities such as Fes and Rabat. Furthermore, one important aspect of the Moroccan
customs and traditions is clothing. Morocco has a unique way in dressing both men and women. For example, women
wear the famous Caftan whereas men wear Jellaba and Jabador. This kind of cloths is now known in many countries.
The Moroccan gastronomy is known for its delicious and unique dishes like Kouskous and Tajine. This cuisine has
existed since more than 2000 years. It is a spicy cuisine that combines cooking salty and sweet food. There are three
ways of cooking Moroccan food: Fried food called Makli, Roasted food called Mhammar, Barbecue called Meshwi.
