What is Ramadan, and how does it affect travel?

Ramadan is the holy month during which Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. While most restaurants are closed for lunch, travel is still possible. It’s respectful for non-Muslims to avoid eating, drinking, or smoking in public during the fast.

How does Ramadan impact dining and alcohol availability?

Many restaurants close for lunch, but those catering to tourists remain open. Alcohol can be purchased in supermarkets with a passport, and some bars and restaurants serve alcohol. However, Moroccan citizens are restricted from buying or consuming alcohol during this time.

Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan and is a major holiday when most businesses close for up to a week. Transport is often crowded as people travel to visit family.

It’s advisable to plan ahead for dining and transportation. Be aware of local customs and try to respect the cultural practices observed during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr.
