The distinctive culture is influenced by Islamic traditions and regional heritage. Islam is more than just a religion: it is a way of life that governs every-day events, from what to wear to what to eat.
Visitors are generally able to roam freely in the souks and villages, and may be pleasantly surprised by genuine offers of coffee. Perhaps the only exceptions are mosques and the Lewara quarter.
As you travel deeper into the interior the people become more conservative but no less hospitable. The forbidding mountains and formidable deserts have kept them isolated from external influences so a foreign face becomes a welcome diversion!
