Beef tagine with prunes
Give us a fun fact about your country:
Traditionally the liver, and not the heart, is considered to be the symbol of love in Morocco :D
What do you like the most about your country?
The people: not to generalize that everyone is good or everyone is bad, but mostly Moroccan people are well known for their hospitability and helpfulness, especially towards foreigners. People love socializing whether you’re a neighbor, a co-worker, a usual customer or a tourist… conversations are usually easy to start (if you speak Arabic, French or English).
What is especially worth seeing in your country?
The Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca is the world’s seventh largest mosque and took five years of intensive labor by over 30,000 workers and craftsman to complete in 1993. The mosque’s minaret at 689 feet (210 m) high is the world’s tallest, and it is Casablanca’s chief landmark.

Create an e-commerce community where I can share and exchange knowledge with other PrestaShop users (developers or merchants).

My proudest moment as an Ambassador, is when at the end of the meetups, I see that people liked and enjoyed the time that they spend with the community and that they are thankful for you for hosting them.
What do you like the most about being an Ambassador?
I like being part of the worldwide PrestaShop community. This gives me the opportunity to learn and develop my skills. In this way I can share my knowledge with developers and traders in my country in order to help them solving their problems.
