A source from the United Nations’ ICESCO confirmed that the organization has officially decided that the canftan garment is an intangible Moroccan heritage.

The resolution of the regional organization came after Morocco, through the Ministry of Culture, presented the elements of intangible heritage in the list of registration of heritage sites and cultural elements on the ISESCO List of Heritage in the Islamic World, which registered 26 historical sites and new cultural elements as Moroccan.

In addition to the arts and skills involved in the making of the Moroccan Caftan, other cultural elements have been registered as Moroccan heritage with ISESCO in the skills and customs related to Moroccan couscous, the art of Moroccan composers, the Moroccan desert tent, Moroccan calligraphy, and Moroccan culinary arts.
