I have often visited Morocco and lived in Malaysia for some time. Sort of, yes. During noon and afternoon most shops, restaurants, and other places were closed. Certain essential things were open. There was also a divide between rural vs urban, with urban have more open stores. Especially in Morocco this didn't seem too uncommon even outside of Ramadan though as its often simply too hot to really work during the day.
