Food and Religion

Abstinence and culinary feats in honor of Islam

An active member of the Islamic community, or umma, Morocco proudly proclaims its religious heritage. The king, in addition to his role as chief executive, is also the spiritual guide for his subjects. The Alowite dynasty, from which both the King of Morocco and the King of Jordan are descended, is one of the branches that traces its roots directly back to the prophet Mohammed. Religion is very present in the hearts of all Moroccans.
