As temperatures rise ahead of Eid al-Adha, specialists are urging Moroccans to take precautions when transporting and keeping sheep, stressing the importance of ventilation, shade and hydration.
As Eid al-Adha approaches, Moroccan families are once again turning to livestock markets to choose from the kingdom’s many iconic sheep breeds. From the prestigious Sardi to the hardy Beni Guil and mountain-adapted Timahdite, each breed reflects the diversity of Morocco’s landscapes and pastoral traditions.
Ahead of Eid al-Adha, Moroccan households flock to markets in search of spices essential to traditional holiday dishes. While locally produced spices remain highly valued, sellers say cumin and spice blends are among the most sought-after products in the days leading up to Eid.
