Morocco / People

The Berber were the original people of Morocco and the majority of modern day Moroccans (about40%) are pure Berber with another 35% of Berber extraction.

Arabs, who trace their presence in Morocco to the Muslim conquests in the 7th century A.D., are the second largest grouping and coalesce in the country's urban areas. There is a small minority of black African descent and a European community, predominately French, of about 100,000.
