Properties in Morocco
Investment Property in Morocco is approximately one third of the price for comparable builds in Spain. The major cities
of Morocco have recorded capital growth of over 30% in the last 3 years.
In addition, King Mohammed 6th has liberalised the political and tax system - rental income is now exempt from tax for
5 years and no capital gains are paid if the property is sold after 10 years.
Morocco is an ethnically diverse country with a rich culture and civilization. Through Moroccan history, Morocco
hosted many people coming from both East (Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Jews and Arabs), South (Africans) and North
(Romans, Vandals, Moors and Jews). All those civilizations have had an impact on the social structure of Morocco.
It conceived various forms of beliefs, from paganism, Judaism, Christianity to Islam.
Each region possesses its own specificities, contributing, thus, to the making of national culture and to the
civilization legacy. Morocco has set among its top priorities the protection of its legacy and the preservation
of its cultural identity.
Ethnically and culturally speaking, Morocco nowadays can be considered the least Arabic among Arab countries. Most
of its population is composed of native Berbers or of mixed Arab-Berber origins.
Moroccan cuisine has long been considered as one of the most diversified cuisines in the world. The reason is because
of the interaction of Morocco with the outside world for centuries. The cuisine of Morocco is a mix of Berber, Spanish,
Moorish, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and African cuisines. The cuisine of Morocco has been influenced by the native
Berber cuisine, the Arabic Andalusian cuisine; brought by the Moriscos when they left Spain, the Turkish cuisine from
the Turkish and the Middle Eastern cuisines brought by the Arabs as well as the Jewish cuisine.
Spices are used extensively in Moroccan food. While spices have been imported to Morocco for thousands of years, many
ingredients, like saffron from Tiliouine, mint and olives from Meknes, and oranges and lemons from Fez, are home-grown.
Chicken is the most widely eaten meat in Morocco. The most commonly eaten red meat in Morocco is beef although lamb is
preferred while being relatively expensive. Couscous is the most famous Moroccan dish along with pastilla, tajine,
and harira. The most popular drink is green tea with mint. The tea is accompanied with hard sugar cones or lumps.
Moroccan music is predominantly Arab, but Andalusian and other imported influences have had a major effect on the country's
musical character. Rock-influenced chaabi bands are widespread, as is trance music with historical origins in Muslim music.
Morocco is home to Andalusian classical music that is found throughout North Africa. It probably evolved under the Moors in
Cordoba, and the Persian-born musician Ziryab is usually credited with its invention.
