Morocco’s culture sector was one of a number that suffered financially from the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly street performers
Jemaa El-Fna in particular has always been a place full of street performers and storytellers. These storytellers were damaged by the pandemic in 2020, as they had no audience to tell stories to but Ramadan Nights 2022 is looking to help reverse this situation.
