Religion
Islam is the official religion in Morocco and peacefully co-exists alongside other religions.
Each day of the year is marked by five calls to prayer and the muezzins announce prayer times from the top of the mosques' minarets.
Mosques in general are closed to non-Muslims however the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, open to non-Muslims every day except Friday, and is well worth a visit.
Please do not be offended if, sitting in a café or walking out of the bank, someone holds out his/her hand to ask for charity, which is an inherent part of Islam - you are free to hand over a dirham, or not. However, please do not give coins, sweets or biros to children as it encourages them to beg from every passing visitor.
