Teacher-Led Trips in Morocco
Rustic Pathways’ programs in Morocco began operating in 2012 and span the breadth of this diverse country, with visits to remarkable sites such as the Ouzoud Waterfalls and Hassan II Mosque. Through our school group travel programs, students travel to indigenous Amazigh villages in the Atlas Mountains, where they engage with rich cultural traditions. Participants may focus on photography or contribute to community-based projects centered on education, agriculture, and cultural preservation.
Morocco is this flourishing tree with roots in Africa and branches and leaves in Europe. It’s a land of diversity that resembles our national dish, tagine. Just as many different ingredients form the perfect stew, the variation of the mountains and deserts, ancient medinas and modern cities, French and Arab cultures will make you want to savor every bite. – Chaima Ait Al Mekki, Morocco Country Director
