Group of Moroccan boys, possibly of Berber decent
Morocco's population is composed of two major ethnic groups, the Berbers and the Arabs. However, mixing since the arrival of the Arabs in the 8th century has made Berber and Arab identity largely meaningless in many communities. In addition, because there were many marriages between Arab men and Berber women in the first centuries of Arab rule, many Arabs in Morocco today are of Berber ancestry. Assuming that it is possible to separate Arabs from Berbers in Morocco, Arabs are believed to be about 66% of the Moroccan population, although this includes people of mixed Arab and Berber descent. Arabs are an indigenous group in the middle east and are the majority population in 15 nations in the Middle East and North Africa.[9]
