These homes are portable and can easily be moved during nomadic seasons. The Moroccan Arab, like most other Arabs, wear cotton turbans or caps with djellabas , which are long sleeved cotton tunics. Whether in towns or villages, the women and men have distinct jobs. In the villages, men work the fields, herd the animals, and provide protection, while the women do housework and care for the children. In the cities, women never work outside their homes.
Traditional roles exist, but are being influenced by western culture.
Life for the Moroccan Arab centers on important ceremonies, such as birth, marriage, and death. A boy also celebrates his first haircut and circumcision. The most elaborate of all ceremonies is the wedding. To preserve their people, the Moroccan Arab only marry those inside their own group. Virtually all of the Moroccan Arab in this region are Muslim.
