Activity Level
Centuries of living mere miles from Europe and the Iberian Peninsula impressed upon the indigenous Berber people of northern Africa the imprint of a long parade of invaders, settlers and colonists. The result is today’s Morocco, a modern nation where a blend of Arabic, Berber and European heritage infuses every souk, square, medina and oasis.
Best of all, you'll...
  • Watch the sun set over the desert, then enjoy traditional Moroccan music under the stars.
  • Gain insight into daily life when you meet local artists, activists, herders and villagers as well as visit an exceptional public primary school.
  • Take an exclusive Road Scholar field trip around Rabat with a Moroccan academic.
General Notes
We will do our best to accommodate special diets and needs on this program, but we must be informed in advance and appreciate flexibility.
