Rabat, the Moroccan capital, was the venue of an exhibition of traditional embroidery, which also paid rich tributes to women embroiderers from Morocco and other countries. Representatives from diplomatic missions of 26 countries participated in the exhibition. Intricate embroidery designs and colorful patterns from various participating countries were on display.
Embroidery has a rich tradition in Morocco and has been a source of income for women who indulge in the occupation. They work from home and the income they earn is a good supportive one. Each region in the North African country has a unique style of embroidery.

In Morocco, embroidery carries influences from Ottoman, Andalusian, and Moroccan Berber, or Amazigh, origins. The exhibition, which lasted over a week, from May 2 to May 8, provided an opportunity for embroiderers and the common man to see the unique features of Moroccan embroidery, its diversity and to provide a platform for them to discuss the current trends at the various workshops and discussions held to coincide with the event.
