⚡️Moracco⚡️ Morocco is a country with a rich culture and civilisation. Through Moroccan history, it has hosted many people coming from East (Phoenicians, Jews and Arabs), South (Sub-Saharan Africans) and North (Romans, Andalusians). All those civilisations have affected the social structure of Morocco. ⚜️Moraccon architecture All of the different rulers and caliphates have left their unique mark on the kingdom’s architecture. The various design elements of traditional Moroccan architecture all have a strong Islamic influence. Whether it’s elaborate geometric patterns that convey symmetry, ornamental calligraphy showcasing Quranic verses, or the stunning and colorful ceramic tile mosaics called zellij. More examples of magnificent architecture: -The Saadian Tombs and the Bahia Palace in Marrakesh -Andalous Mosque and the Museum of Moroccan Arts in Fez -Mohamed V Mausoleum and the Kasbah des Udayas Rabat ⚜️Moroccan handicrafts Morocco is also a country of crafts. In Safi, Fez, or Zagora, you discover ceramics. In Ouarzazate, the spotlight is on the carpet industry. Marrakesh is just as important as its predecessors: among other activities, the leather industry. Tanners make slippers, bags, and salon tools. A collection of tasteful creations that blend the most daring aesthetic with an enchanting traditional character ⚜️Moroccan literature Moroccan literature is written mostly in Arabic, Berber, Hebrew, and French. Islamic literature, such as Quranic exegeses and other religious works such as Qadi Ayyad's Al-Shifa were influential. The University of al-Qarawiyyin in Fes was an important literary center attracting scholars from abroad,including Maimonides,  Ibn al-Khatib, and Ibn Khaldun. ⚜️Moraccan music Moroccan music is of Arabic, Berber and sub-Saharan origins.
