Most likely the guy in Morocco that she is fleecing is Muslim, so Ramadan would be a topic of conversation if it intersects with her being there. My guess is she is planning on leaving Morocco right before Ramadan starts. Don't blame her...
I mean according to Wikipedia, in some Muslim countries, it becomes illegal to eat in public during daylight during Ramadan. Religious Laws are not something you wanna fuck with if you don't have to. Very good reason to stay out of the Middle East unless you're in the military with a pew pew to tell them to fuck off.
