Rich traditions and culture
The Moroccan Kingdom is a melting pot of cultures diversified by successive arrivals. Communities live there in harmony, each respecting the differences of others.
Tradition of cohabitation
The numerous migrations that Morocco has known have created a spirit of tolerance and openness. Today, Islam, Christianity, and Judaism enrich themselves there spiritually and intellectually through the sharing and transmission of their culture.
Berber identity
First inhabitants of Morocco, the Berbers are one of the pillars of the country and contribute to the new momentum of modern Morocco. The Royal Institute of Amazigh Culture was born on 17 October 2001. Since then, the Berber language is recognised as one of the official languages. It is from now on present in school programmes and on the airwaves of national radios and televisions. The richness of the Amazigh tradition expresses itself with evidence during the Timitar festival of Agadir.
Islam of tolerance
Through the centuries, Morocco has known how to favour the cohabitation of cultures. Mutual respect between the religions that are practised there has given birth to a society of peace that shares traditions and values. The capacity of Moroccan Islam to adapt to the permanent evolution of society, to scientific, social, and cultural progress, ensures it durability and respect.
Ecumenical dialogue
Morocco has always encouraged the spirit of dialogue between religions for the building of progress and peace. Israel posthumously awarded the former sovereign Mohammed V the title of "Righteous Among the Nations" for having refused to apply the racial laws of Vichy, thus protecting the Jewish community of Morocco.
To remember
Morocco is a land of Islam where tolerance and respect for other spiritual and cultural communities found an identity open to difference.
