    I assume it’s Arabic but what does it say and which way is the right way up. Thanks John. 582AD400-2F10-4048-A2B5-28BDCE7E22BA.jpeg

    The second and third ones are the right way up, imo. I have no idea what it says though.
    What is it and where is it from? There could be a clue there.

    Tend to be verses from the Quran.

    I don't see "Allah", which is just about the only one I recognize.

    It depends on what it is, souvenirs can have "Marrakech" or something similar on them.;)
    It looks like it is on an astrakan hat(?), in which case it could be the brand.
    And a lot of calligraphy is just calligraphic shapes, not actual text.

    Often the script is archaic and undecipherable, or partially so, to those who read modern Arabic. Usually have some religious connotation.
