Rabat prepares for feast of Aid al Adha | Video

Rabat (Morocco), Jun 13 (EFE/EPA) - Morocco is the main importer of sheep from Spain before the imminent celebration of the 'Aid al Adha' or feast of the lamb, in a context of a generalized rise in prices due to the drought that has made Spanish meat highly competitive, overcoming the reluctance of Moroccans who question its quality.

This year, the Moroccan government has decided to allow and subsidize the import of 600,000 head of sheep to try to reduce the price of meat before a feast to be celebrated next Monday in which Muslims are accustomed to slaughter a lamb per family.
