Student Travel Programs in Morocco
Rustic Pathways’ programs in Morocco began operating in 2012 and encompass the breadth of this gorgeous country with visits to jaw-dropping sights such as the Ouzoud Waterfalls and Hassan II Mosque. Traveling to the indigenous Amazigh villages of the Atlas Mountains exposes photography students to rich cultural traditions. Service students work on community-based projects focused 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
