Breaking the Ramadan Fast in Ksiba, Morocco. The observance of Ramadan in Morocco is virtually universal. Save for an occasional group of ill-informed tourists, it is impossible to see anyone eating or drinking in public. Many restaurants and cafes close down throughout the month, and those that remain open, for the s...ake of foreigners, are forbidden by law from serving Moroccan clients. Tell us about your first experience in a new culture.http://www.smithsonianjourneys.org/blog/
