We did stay and enjoy the entire holiday show! They call their holidays and festivals throughout the year the "spice of life." Many of the people that live in Morocco are Muslims who share Islamic traditions, but no matter where you are in Morocco, you'll see the Moroccan people celebrating in ways that truly reflect the diversity of its people.
Though we heard about many different celebrations, I really enjoyed hearing about Ramadan. It is one of the holiest celebrations not only in Morocco, but also worldwide. It is 30 days of fasting, prayer, and refection, ending with a great feast! I think this is something we can all celebrate no matter what our race, religion, or background is!
Ean and I had a tough time finding the place to get the stamp in Morocco. We could not for the life of us find the Gifts of Morocco! It wasn't on the map! After going in and out of every little shop in the area and having no clue what each place was even called, we eventually gave up and went to get a stamp in Tangerine Cafe. I walk in there and go up to the counter and they sent me to a little dessert stand in the corner that featured their special holiday Chocolate Honey Baklava. Talk about an adventure just to find a stamp!
We did later find Gifts of Morocco! It wasn't in the main Moroccan shopping area! Who knew…
And here is the cute stamp I almost gave up on trying to find! I was getting very impatient with this one. Lol!
Next stop is Japan, so stay tuned!!
