I´ve been there, and there´s a large maroccan minority in Holland.
They like to eat couscous and chicken with lots of spices in a big pottery dishes that they all eat out of with their hands while sitting around it. If they´re decent or its a special day they first pass around a bucket and soap to wash their hands with.
They have stone buildings with small openings as windows to keep the heat out.
they make lots of carpets
They´re pretty poor but they have this one socialist law, that bread gets heavily subsidized so even beggars can buy all the pure bread they need.
I was young when I was there. so what else do i remember? all these decorated little daggers in decorated covers sold as souvenirs, people bothering you almost literally pulling you into their store and lots of annoying haggling over prices.
they have a kind of developing city in Casablanca but large portions of the population are very poor and illiterate. The class of traditional peasants which is very unconnected is called Berbers. they keep goats and stuff. Many take pride in their Berber identity or heritage, there is even a sort of racist- Berber supremacist movement.
Marakech is most likely the most authentic typical Maroccan city. It´s got pretty typical architecture.
You don´t need to limit to Marocco if you want belly dancing and waterpiping and colourful carpets though.
