Iftar (إفطار)

Ftour (فتور)

Ftour and iftar are Arabic words for breakfast. The same words may be used to denote the evening meal taken to break a religious fast, most notably during the month of Ramadan.

For ideas of what may be served at a typical Moroccan breakfast or when breaking the fast at sunset, see Moroccan Breakfast Recipes and Moroccan Ramadan Recipes.
