Demographic features of the population of Morocco include population density, ethnicity, religious affiliations and other aspects of the population. All figures are from the Haut-Commissariat au Plan of Morocco[4] or the United Nations Demographic Yearbooks,[5] unless otherwise indicated.
The population of Morocco in 2024 was 36,828,330.[1] Moroccans are primarily of Arab, Berber, and Morisco origins.[6][7] Socially, there are two contrasting groups of Moroccans: those living in the cities and those in rural areas. Among Morocco’s rural communities, several socio-economic classes have formed. The majority of the Moroccan population lives in northwestern Morocco, along the fertile coastal regions near the Mediterranean Sea.
About 99 percent of Moroccans are considered to be Sunni Muslims (either religiously or culturally). The significant and millennia-old Jewish minority has largely decreased since the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. Today there are 2,500 Moroccan Jews inside the country.[8] Thousands of Moroccan Jews living in Europe, Israel-Palestine, and the Americas regularly visit the Morocco. There is a small minority of Moroccan Christians. In 2014, most of the 86,206 foreign residents are French, Spaniards, Algerians, and sub-Saharan African migrants.

Tangier and Nador are the two major northern seaports on the Mediterranean. Fez is a cultural, religious and industrial centre. Marrakesh and Agadir are the two major tourist centres. Oujda is the largest city of eastern Morocco. Meknes houses the military academy. Kenitra has the largest military airbase.

Ethnic groups
[edit]Moroccans are primarily of Arab, Berber, and Andalusian origins (as in other countries of the Mediterranean Maghreb).[6][7] The Higher Planning Commission, the country's state statistics bureau, does not collect data on ethnic demographics, citing the historical difficulty of distinguishing between Arabs and Berbers, even among Berber speakers.[19]
According to 2024 census data, 92.7% of the population speaks Arabic, while 24.8% regularly speak an Amazigh variety.[20] Despite the lack of official ethnic statistics, estimates typically put the Berber population as ranging between 35–60% of the population,[21][22] with some estimates as high as 70%,[23][24] while estimates of the Arab population range between 40–60%.[25][26]


The Arab population of Morocco is a result of the inflow of Arab tribes from the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant since the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb in the 7th century, with a major wave in the 11th century.[28] During the 11th century, a major migration to the region by Arab tribes occurred as the tribes of Banu Hilal and Banu Sulaym, along with others, were sent by the Fatimids to defeat a Berber rebellion; these tribes then settled in the Maghreb.[29] Between the Nile and the Red Sea were Arab tribes expelled from Arabia for their turbulence, Banu Hilal and Banu Sulaym, who often plundered farming areas in the Nile Valley.[30] According to Ibn Khaldun, whole tribes set off with women, children, ancestors, animals and camping equipment.[30] These tribes, who arrived in the region of Morocco around the 12th-13th centuries, and later the Ma'qil in the 14th century, contributed to a more extensive ethnic, genetic, cultural, and linguistic Arabization of Morocco over time,[31] especially beyond the major urban centres and the northern regions which had previously been the main sites of Arabization.[32]
The Berber population mainly lives in the mountainous regions of Morocco where some preserve Berber culture, and are split into three groups; Rifians, Shilha, and Central Atlas Amazigh. The Rifians inhabit the Rif mountains, the Shilha inhabit the Anti-Atlas mountains, and the Central Atlas Amazigh inhabit the Middle Atlas mountains.[33][34] The Arabized Berbers who constitute about a quarter of the population are the Berbers who were Arabized mainly as a result of the Arab nomad inflow, and have adopted Arab culture and the Arabic language as their native language, especially those who sought the protection of the Bedouin.[31] Some parts of the population are descendants of refugees who fled Spain after the Reconquista in the 15th century.
The Trans-Saharan slave trade brought a minority population of Sub-Saharan Africans to Morocco. After the founding of Israel and start of the Arab-Israeli conflict in 1948, many Jews felt compelled to leave Morocco and emigrate fled to Israel, Europe, and North America, and by 1967, 250,000 Jews left Morocco. According to a 2021 survey on 1,200 Moroccan adults, 68% were Arab, 25.6% were Berber, 3.6% were Sahrawi, and 2.7% were others.[35]
Immigration
[edit]Languages
[edit]Arabic and Berber are the official languages of Morocco. The majority spoken language in Morocco is Arabic which is spoken by 92.7% of the population and includes the dialects of Moroccan Arabic (Hilalian dialects), spoken by 91.9%, and Hassaniya Arabic, spoken by 0.8%. Berber languages are spoken by 24.8% of the population in three varieties (3.2% speak Tarifit, 14.2% speak Shilha, and 7.4% speak Tamazight).[36] According to the 2024 Moroccan census, 99.2%, or almost the entire literate population of Morocco, could read and write in Arabic, while 1.5% of the population could read and write in Berber. The census also indicated that 80.6% of Moroccans consider Arabic to be their native language, while 18.9% regard any of the various Berber languages as their mother tongue.[36][37]
French is a working-foreign language of government and enterprises, and is taught throughout school. It serves as Morocco's primary foreign language of business, economics, and scientific university education. French is also widely used in the media. Morocco is a member of La Francophonie.
Amazigh activists long-struggled for the recognition of their language as an official language of Morocco, which was achieved in July 2011. Northern Moroccans are often proficient in Spanish.
English is rapidly becoming a foreign language of choice among Moroccans. Since the State education reforms of 2002, English has been taught to Moroccan students, beginning in fourth year of primary school.
