More than 60 folkloric troupes from across Morocco are taking part in the country's 53rd popular arts festival in Marrakech.
The National Festival of Popular Arts celebrates Moroccan cultural heritage, bringing together artists from across the country.
Folkloric troupes regaled the crowds with street and on-stage performances featuring traditional songs and dances.
The Ahwash, Gnawa, Ahidous and Daqqa troupes from Marrakech took part in the event alongside the Aissaoua troupe from Fez and Abidat R'ma from Oued Zem city.
Organizers say the festival aims to preserve Moroccan culture and cultural identity as the artists pay tribute to their ancestors and introduce their art to the world.
