Morocco is a country of multi-ethnic groups with a rich culture and civilization. Through Moroccan history, Morocco hosted many people coming from both East (Phoenicians, Jews and Arabs), South (Sub-Saharan Africans) and North (Romans, Vandals, Moors and Jews). All of which have had an impact on the social structure of Morocco. It conceived all forms of beliefs, from paganism, Judaism, Christianity to Islam.

Each region possesses its own specificities, contributing, thus, to the making of national culture and to the civilization legacy. Morocco has set among its top priorities the protection of its diversity and the preservation of its cultural heritage.

In the political world, Morocco is referred to as an African or sometimes as an Arab state. Ethnically and culturally speaking, Morocco nowadays can be considered the least Arabic among Arab countries. Most of its population is of Berber origins and speak the Amazigh language.
