What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Khemisset?

"Yes. I learned quickly that my habit of ambidexterity and using both hands to do things needed retraining to break that habit. Its not good to reach for food with your left hand.. Oh my gosh. Thats a huge social blunder. And, so much hugging between members of the same sex, holding hands etc., which really I never was a hugger back in the USA. I also needed to learn no shaking hands with men," wrote a member who made the move to Khemisset, Morocco.

"In Khemisset, it is important to be mindful of cultural norms and customs. It is important to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. Avoid public displays of affection, as this is considered inappropriate in the local culture. It is also important to be respectful of local customs and traditions, and to avoid making negative comments about them. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local language and to avoid speaking English or any other foreign language in public. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local etiquette when it comes to eating, drinking, and interacting with others," explained one expat living in Khemisset, Morocco.
