From my experience of henna in Morocco, both sides of the hands are
done and also down the wrists as well. I had to really fight to have
just part of my hands done the last time I was there (I was leaving
the next day and needed a few fingers free to pack my stuff up!). As
for the feet in Morocco, mostly what I observed was designs on the
feet, usually solid on the sole and then little designs coming up on
the side, but rarely the top of the foot.
