Culture: Taking Photos

Some Moroccans object strongly to having their photograph taken, and some are offended if you take a photo of them without their permission. It can be particularly upsetting for women if they find that their photo has been put on the internet.

  • Always ask permission before taking photos of people
  • Sometimes people will allow you to photograph them for a small tip
  • Do not put photos of Moroccan women on the internet
  • If you can, it is kind to let people have a copy of their photo
  • NEVER try to take photos of the police or military.
