Moroccans attach importance to etiquette. When people talk loudly with anger and excitement, they will all be seen as impolite. It is extremely impolite to rub or wash your hands after shaking hands with others. After the Moroccans meet each other and shake hands, they must place their hands on the chest or forehead to show respect. Moroccans also greet one another by kissing the cheek (both males and females), but males can't take the initiative to do it to an unfamiliar lady. Males who want to greet a wife of others with a kiss on the cheek need permission from her husband.

Moroccans are all Muslims. They do not eat pork, blood, animals died of natural causes and animals that are not killed in the name of Allah. They are also prohibited to drink alcohol. During the holy month of Ramadan, it is forbidden to eat in public. It is not allowed to remake a photo of the portrait of the Moroccan king. One can buy the photos in authorised shops. Couples should not be too intimate in public.

Moroccans are very hospitable and have a habit of treating their guests with their best. Moroccans use round tables for dining or banquets like Chinese. Traditional dishes include pastilla (a pie with a pastry, filled with meat, vegetables, etc.), tagine (beef or lamb contained in a traditional potter and stewed over a charcoal fire, similar to a Chinese casserole), couscous (small balls made of semolina, served with a variety of meats, vegetables and soup) as well as grilled whole lambs. Their traditional staple food is round-shaped whole-grain bread.

Moroccan desserts are also famous. The amount of food prepared by Moroccan for guests is generally large. Therefore, having leftovers are acceptable, but try to taste all the prepared dishes to show respect and courtesy.

Moroccans love to drink green tea from China. They are also very particular about the method of making tea. Traditionally, green tea and fresh mint leaves are boiled in a special iron pot or stirred with boiling water, and is usually consumed with sugar.
