A garrab (Moroccan Arabic: ڭرّاب or قرّاب) or guerrab is a water porter in Morocco. The traditional profession, referred to as tagarrabt (Moroccan Arabic: تاڭرابت), involves selling and distributing water in public spaces, and it is currently in danger of extinction. Tagarrabt was historically practiced as a semi-charitable work. Garrabs would give water to anyone who needed it, but would also accept donations. The profession of water selling existed, possibly under different names, throughout North Africa, from Morocco to Egypt.

  • A garrab (Moroccan Arabic: ڭرّاب or قرّاب) or guerrab is a water porter in Morocco. The traditional profession, referred to as tagarrabt (Moroccan Arabic: تاڭرابت), involves selling and distributing water in public spaces, and it is currently in danger of extinction. Traditionally, the garrab wears a red djellaba, and a matching large ornate hat. He carries a goatskin bag (Arabic: قِرْبَة qirba or girba) with cold fresh water, and brass cups to serve water. They usually carry a bell, and have a distinct call, invoking religious themes or the good properties of the water, to attract the attention of passers-by. Tagarrabt was historically practiced as a semi-charitable work. Garrabs would give water to anyone who needed it, but would also accept donations. The profession of water selling existed, possibly under different names, throughout North Africa, from Morocco to Egypt. (en)
