Moroccan henna carries the ancient geometric wisdom of the Berber (Amazigh) people, creating mesmerising patterns built from diamonds, triangles, and lattice grids. Unlike the curvilinear styles of Asia, Moroccan mehndi is architectural and angular, reflecting the tilework of Moroccan mosques and riads. The tradition runs through both urban centres like Fez and Marrakech and rural Amazigh communities of the Atlas Mountains.
In Moroccan weddings, the "Henna Night" or "Laylat al-Henna" is a separate ceremony where the bride's hands and feet are decorated while guests celebrate with music and sweets. Berber women also use henna for protective purposes, believing it wards off the evil eye. Henna is applied during religious holidays, births, and circumcision ceremonies.
