You’ll find these costumed water sellers throughout Morocco at public squares, outdoor markets and almost always at tourist attractions. Try and ignore the modern tennis shoes because traditional footwear was probably very uncomfortable…
In Morocco, traditional water sellers, known as “Garrabs” or “Guerrabs,” are a cultural icon, historically selling water from goatskin bags and now often posing for tourists. These Garrabs, or water carriers, were a common sight in Moroccan cities and market squares like Djemaa el-Fna in Marrakech. They were easily recognizable by their brightly colored attire, including a red djellaba (a traditional Moroccan robe) and a matching large, ornate hat. They carry a goatskin bag (Arabic: qirba or girba) filled with water, brass cups for serving, and often a bell to announce their presence. Historically, Garrabs sold water to travelers and traders, and the profession was seen as semi-charitable, with water given freely to those in need. While some still sell water, many now rely on income from tourists who pay to photograph them.
