There's a Town Crier in Morocco

It's very important for Muslims to wake up before dawn so they can eat before the fasting starts. But how do they do that in Morocco? That's where the "nafar" comes in. This person is like the town crier, and their job is to walk around the neighborhood and blow a musical horn to wake up people who are still sleeping soundly in their beds.

For many Muslims, the sound of the horn is a welcome addition to their morning. Not only does it wake people up, but it's also steeped in Moroccan culture and has been for years.
