Ditto. My first trip to Morocco was during Ramadan too. Total accident. I’d already booked everything, flights, hotels, the whole thing. I was living in Orlando at the time, lot's of Tunisians and Moroccans there.
One of my Moroccan friends, the VERY religious one, was thrilled for me. “It’s the most beautiful time to go, you’ll experience the real Morocco,” etc.
Then my other friend from Agadir found out my dates and literally yelled, “CANCEL IT NOW.” He’s the modern, likes-to-party type who is basically Muslim during Ramadan and Ramadan only. He said everyone would look like zombies during the day, no food, no water, no coffee, just people hiding in bed so they don’t think about it. Boring city vibes until sunset.
Honestly… he wasn’t wrong. Daytime was quiet and low energy. But once the sun went down? Different story. Horny guys are horny guys 😁
Definitely better NOT during Ramadan....
And my tour guide told me he was “ill,” which apparently meant he was allowed to eat, drink, and smoke hash.... A LOT of Hashish 🚬
