Incense burning is a common practice in Moroccan culture, used in religious ceremonies, to welcome guests, and to cleanse the home. The incense used is all natural ingredients and various aromatic herbs.

A Moroccan terracotta majmar is a traditional incense burner used for burning bakhoor, which is a type of incense composed of wood chips soaked in fragrant oils and mixed with other natural ingredients. The majmar is typically handcrafted from clay.

These majmars are often used in Moroccan and Middle Eastern homes to create a welcoming atmosphere, and they are also used during special occasions.
