Ramadan activity in Morocco
Fast is observed during daylight time and is broken with dates or sweets. All of the non-tourist eating places remain closed till dusk. Non-Muslim tourists need to respect local and Islamic customs. They just need to restrain from consuming water and food in public places mainly during day time. It is advised to avoid smoking as well.

Ramzan Food Preparations in Morocco
Iftaar is termed as FTOUR in Morocco and the same word is used for breakfast. Sweets, juices, milk, dates, and sugary items fulfill the surge after an entire day with a fast.
