Ramadan in Morocco.

In Morocco, the main religion is Islam which gathers five important principles including Ramadan. During one entire month, Moroccans have to fast, stop drinking and smoking from the sunrise to the sunset. Everyday, the muezzin calls the end of the fast from the top of the minaret. Most administrations, public services and stores adjust their schedules. However, non-muslims can eat in some restaurants, especially in hotels. Days could seem hard but nights are beautiful. The purpose of Ramadan is to be able to resist to life pleasures but also develop a spirit of equality between poor and rich people who can feel and have an overview on poor people's hard daily lives.
