“The advertisement says that «Morocco is a country that elevates the soul». And it’s true, it is a land that makes you dream and invites you to journey towards a spirituality that is increasingly needed.

But many are enthusiastic about traveling in a different way, and above all about trying to understand a country not starting from postcards but from daily life in all its complexities.” — Tahar Ben Jelloun

This country has always been the place where brotherhoods and associations have thrived that discuss the different interpretations of Islam without ever calling into question the title of Commander of the Believers, which is part of the king’s functions, nor wanting to apply the sharia as at the time of the birth and consolidation of God’s message.” — Tahar Ben Jelloun

Morocco travel quotes

“In Morocco, a Muslim country, I got to hear the call to prayer five times a day. At first, it felt kind of scary, kind of dangerous, because of the propaganda towards anything Muslim in the U.S. subconsciously coming out in me.

They are lost but they are confident because they have the impression of being in a friendly country, a hospitable country. And in fact, the first Moroccan who passes by stops and offers them help. If it is evening, he invites them to sleep at his house and gives them something to eat. The sense of hospitality is not a simple stereotype, it is one of the values that characterize Morocco.” — Tahar Ben Jelloun

Amazing Marrakech quotes

The desert is an idea, a way to strip yourself of everything and dare to look yourself in the face; it is a mirror that must be taken seriously. Morocco has a lively, splendid desert, not far from cities or roads.” — Tahar Ben Jelloun

“In Morocco, the sea and the desert have intertwined in a vortex of questions, and no one is able to reveal their multiple, devastating, impossible meaning… But Moroccan painters know that the sea they have chosen is not that of sailors and pirates.

It is the inner sea, what every artist carries inside, what he imagines that he wants to liberate, and make visible.” — Tahar Ben Jelloun

“There were two things I used to do to seduce girls: jokes and music. Since I’m not a great pianist, jokes were my thing.” — Gad Elmaleh
