Do Moroccans wear scarves?

The bottom line is women in Morocco are not forced to fully cover up. Women also aren't required to cover their heads, but the ones that do make it a fashion statement. Wearing a Hijab (head covering) is a way of showing they are proud of their culture.


Are Moroccans considered Arab?

But Morocco is also a member of the Arab League - so officially belongs to both cultural spheres. While the adjective African to describe Morocco is a geographical fact, the use of Arab has also alienated many Moroccans who do not identify as such.
