Ramadan Poetry Nights: A cultural tradition

The Ramadan Poetry Nights are an annual cultural and literary tradition, in which the House of Poetry in Marrakech offers an open literary salon for poets and lovers of the beauty of words. The House ensures the celebration of Moroccan poetic, literary, and artistic experiences, aligning them with the spirit of Ramadan programming.

This year, the House has designed a rich programme of poetry, culture, and arts during the holy month, featuring poetic segments in dialogue with other literary arts. The “Poetic Gatherings” segment is a cornerstone of the House’s programming, reflecting its ongoing strategy in the ninth season to innovate, diversify, and open its activities to Moroccan, Arab, and global poetic achievements.
