Well, Cristina, in this case I would not recommend to leave the \"Arab\" part out, since other cultures and religions are present.
If the authot had intended to refer to a general \"Moroccan\" influence, he/she would have written \"marroquina\", but he/she did not, probably to differentiate it from non-Arab Moroccan styles.

As early as Roman times, Moroccan Jews had begun to travel inland to trade with groups of Berbers, most of whom were nomads who dwelled in remote areas of the Atlas Mountains. Jews lived side by side with Berbers, forging both economic and cultural ties; some Berbers even began to practice Judaism. In response, Berber spirituality transformed Jewish ritual, painting it with a belief in the power of demons and saints. When the Muslims swept across the North of Africa, Jews and Berbers defied them together. Across the Atlas Mountains, legendary Queen Kahina led a tribe of 7th century Jewish-Berbers in battle against encroaching Islamic warriors. Though the Muslims defeated Kahina and converted her ancestors to Islam, many Berber communities maintained their Judaism.
