Things To Do
in Bni Khloug

Vibrant scenes of vendors, produce and textiles in the morning light — great for candid street and detail shots of colors and textures.

Patterns of planted fields, old olive trees and rural landscapes provide wide-angle compositions and intimate nature shots.

Low hills and open plains produce warm, dramatic sunsets ideal for silhouettes and wide vistas.

Narrow lanes, traditional houses, ornate doorways and communal spaces offer cultural and portrait photography opportunities.

Small weekly market selling fresh produce, olives, spices and breads — a good place to try local fruits, olives and fresh flatbreads; arrive in the morning for the best selection.

Scattered tea houses serve strong mint tea and simple pastries; street vendors may offer fried snacks and sandwiches for a quick, inexpensive bite.

Polite greetings (handshake and 'Salam') are important; address elders first and use formal salutations. Showing respect and patience is valued.

Dress conservatively, especially in rural areas and religious sites — shoulders and knees covered for both men and women is advisable to avoid unwanted attention.

Ask permission before photographing people, especially women and children. A smile and a question go a long way.

If invited into a home, accepting tea is polite. Remove shoes when entering private homes and be open to simple hospitality.

Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory. Leave small change (10–20 MAD, about $1–2) for service at cafés and 5–10% at restaurants if service was good. Give a small tip to guides, drivers or porters for helpful service.

Vegetarian options are common in the form of vegetable tagine, salads, breads and legumes; always confirm that broths or sauces do not contain meat stock and ask for plain couscous or vegetable-only preparations.

Vegan choices are available but more limited — stick to breads, salads, olives, rice and vegetable tagines; carry snacks if you have strict requirements.

Traditional Moroccan cuisine relies heavily on wheat (bread, couscous), so gluten-free travelers should be cautious and inquire about cross-contamination; rice, salads and certain stews are safer bets.
