Cultural work codes in Morocco

If you are French-speaking, you will have no difficulty in communicating with your Moroccan counterparts as French is both the administrative language and the language spoken by a large proportion of city dwellers. This widespread use of French, combined with political stability and economic dynamism, have made Morocco a privileged partner of Europe in Africa.

Bear in mind that Islam plays an important role in Morocco, which is a country living between modernity and tradition. As an expatriate, you will need to know and respect local customs and codes. For example, learn to be respectful of religious highlights of the year such as the month of fasting of Ramadan. You will notice that at this time the whole country changes its pace and its timetable!

In your professional commitments, always remember to make a formal note of any decisions made in writing. Note: a verbal commitment or a telephone conversation are not enough to confirm an agreement.

Things that may surprise you in Morocco

- Morocco offers an incredible diversity of landscapes that makes it a very popular destination for tourists. Indeed, there really is something for everyone - Mediterranean, ocean, desert and mountainous regions. One of the attractions of the country is its very mild weather. The sun shines all year long, thus encouraging many outdoor activities, summer and winter - hiking, surfing, bivouacking in the desert, golf, etc.

- Moroccan gastronomy is world-renowned and is often associated with two iconic dishes, couscous and tagine. Yet there is more to Moroccan cuisine than these two dishes! Fish, for example, is widely consumed in the country, which has 1,835 km of coastline and two seaboards.

- Moroccans are very warm and welcoming, hospitality being a very important cultural value.

- The disparities in living standards will undoubtedly surprise you, whether in cities, where modern and disadvantaged neighbourhoods exist between urban and rural areas. The latter are generally less well-developed, particularly in terms of basic infrastructure.

- Take care! Moroccan driving is "sporty" and the highway code is not always respected. You need therefore to pay attention and have good reflexes!
