Argan Oil: Morocco’s “Liquid Gold” Visiting the Argan Forest Argan oil is often called “liquid gold” because of its many benefits and its traditional production process. The oil is extracted from the kernels of the argan fruit through a careful and labor-intensive method that has been practiced for centuries. Traditionally, Moroccan women in local cooperatives crack the hard argan nuts by hand, roast the kernels (for culinary oil), and then grind them into a paste. The paste is pressed to produce the rich golden oil. Today, many cooperatives still use traditional methods while improving hygiene and efficiency. Argan oil has two main uses: Culinary argan oil – used in Moroccan cuisine, often with bread, couscous, or salads. It has a rich, nutty flavor.

More than just a place of worship, it is a powerful symbol of Morocco’s identity — rooted in faith, craftsmanship, and openness to the world. Casablanca is often seen as Morocco’s modern heartbeat: busy streets, economic energy, and contemporary architecture. Yet, at its core, the city holds a spiritual treasure that commands silence and admiration. The Hassan II Mosque, completed in 1993, was commissioned by King Hassan II to honor Morocco’s religious heritage and to create a monument that reflects the nation’s soul. What makes this mosque truly extraordinary is its location. Built partly over the Atlantic Ocean, it reflects a verse from the Qur’an that states, “The throne of God was upon the water.” As you walk along the esplanade, the so...
