In the souks in Rabat, it is not odd at all to see hijiabs and thong bikinis sold side by side. The beards are outnumbered by the very secular Moroccan populace at large. One sight commonly seen was Hijab and stilettos , worn together. The Moroccans were uniformly friendly and extremely nice. No Moroccan I encountered had a bad word about the US or Americans. Now, the French, another story. By the way, I went there alone, no tour group, just on limited business and a lot of wandering . Maroc is a poor country, no doubt , but the people there are terrific. The King is big time pro US, trained here in the US . both for his degree and Air Force pilot training. Just my observations. We could hardly do better for a strategic ally in North Africa.
Thanks for the info. Good background on Morocco.
This is probably the difference between Tunisia and Morocco the French influence
