The Spirit of Morocco: Music, Architecture, and Living Heritage

November 8, 2019

There is more to Morocco than the gorgeous sand dunes of Merzouga in the Sahara or the majestic Atlas Mountains of the Maghreb region. Morocco’s music can take you on a journey through Spain, with flavors of Berber, hints of Arabic, and the Saharan style. Its architecture is a showstopping feature of pisé buildings, the finesse of Moorish exiles, and a glimpse into the Islamic influence of the Idrisid dynasty. The people bring craftsmanship and skill to their communities, combining history and culture in a way only Morocco can do.
