Tips for doing business in Morocco as an Azerbaijani business traveler

To ensure successful interactions when doing business in Morocco, it is important to be aware of cultural differences and customs.

Here are some tips for conducting business in Morocco, along with a comparison of cultural nuances between Azerbaijan and this African country:

Relationship building: Like in Azerbaijan, personal relationships are vital in Moroccan business culture. Socializing is an important part of gaining trust.

Formality and etiquette: Moroccan business culture tends to be more formal compared to Azerbaijan. Address individuals using their appropriate titles and respect the hierarchy between people.

Greetings and introductions: Handshakes are a common greeting in Morocco. It is customary to greet the most senior person first. Using greetings such as “As-salamu alaykum” (Peace be upon you) or “Bonjour” (Hello) based on the context, will help break the ice.

Time and punctuality: While punctuality is generally expected in business, Moroccans may have a more relaxed attitude towards time. Meetings might be delayed, so remain flexible and avoid rushing the process.

Business meals: Inviting Moroccan business partners to a meal is a good way to strengthen relationships. Meals emphasize the enjoyment of food and company. Accepting tea is considered a sign of respect and acceptance of the invitation.

Gift exchanges: Gifts can help foster business relationships in Morocco. Consider offering thoughtful gifts that align with Moroccan culture or the recipient's interests. Avoid excessively expensive or extravagant gifts.

By adapting to Moroccan cultural norms, showing appreciation for their customs, and maintaining patience, you can effectively navigate the business landscape in Morocco.
