Before sitting at the table, you have to wash 3 times hands, feet and face. This hygienic norm has become a religious norm and a shared habit. They serve delicacies to be enjoyed slowly and chatting in quiet ways, without ever raising your voice. The cuisine is conditioned by both Arab and Mediterranean influences. Each region has typical dishes, but generally in Moroccan cuisine are recurrent: cous-cous, Argan oil, olives, boiled or sour-sweet vegetables and home-made bread, which is consumed daily. Certainly, then the lovers of strong and decisive flavours cannot miss the camel meat.
Spices and herbs play a major role: mint, parsley, cinnamon, cumin and saffron are among the most used. Wine is not used much on Arab tables because it is forbidden by the Muslim religion. The preferred drink is green mint tea, consumed at any time of the day.
