 It has often been said that the people are the pulse of a nation. The rich culture and diversity of Morocco is reflected in every inch of the vibrant nation that trade frantically and enthusiastically in the bustling streets as songs of worship ring out overhead. Moroccan people have a long and fascinating heritage and though they've started to embrace the modernizing of their world; there is a sort of captivated timelessness which still hangs over them all. Below you will find a bit about the demographics of the country as well as a little about the history of the nation. Most of the Moroccans today can claim both Berber and Arab ancestry, though they are generally referred to as Berbers. There is a small amount which can claim pure Arab decent and a few small groups of true Berbers which exist in the Rif Mountains, Atlas Mountains and Souss Valley and who are able to speak several ancient Berber languages. There is also a small number of Jews and black African Moroccans. The population of Morocco numbers over 36 million people . Lifestyles differ depending on the areas that people live in. People living in rural areas are often unable to get fairly basic items, such as plasters. They generally tend to grow plants or tend livestock for food. However there are far greater clusters of people in the cities which bustle with life at all times of the day. Souks (markets) are virtually a way of life for most Moroccans and can be found in every town and city. The Majority of Souks, however, are closed during the lunch period and on Fridays. Most moroccans are friendly and hospitable and will extend warm invitations if you do not act rude or unfriendly towards them.
