Morocco is the gem of the North Africa having coastlines on both the North Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Morocco has tremendous culture due to the inhabitation of the multi-ethnic population. While traveling to Morocco, the colors of indigenous Berber community and Jewish and Muslim populace can very easily be observed. The nation is a reasonably massive country and its every element has its personal cultural recognition.

The Moroccan society is not conservative because Morocco is a peaceful and tourist friendly nation. Morocco has no specific rules and regulation about the clothes but the Moroccans have kept alive the custom to put on the standard dress of Morocco.

Moroccans are all round a stylish and wise nation and they favor to dress up with trendy and impressive clothes. Both guys and women put on a very same conventional attire which is called djellaba a extended, loose, hooded garment with full sleeves.

The women of Morocco also wear Caftan or Kaftan which is without a hood in contrast to the djellaba. This dress is especially decorated with the common woman embroidery upon the dress openings and arms. Kaftan is normally worn on the festive occasions and wedding ceremonies by the Moroccan girls.
