Community Engagement
Morocco’s unique landscape will undoubtedly inspire you; it is an enthralling country with an incredibly diverse landscape and culture and a fusion of old and modern progressive influences melding together. There are few places in the world where you can experience a whole multitude of life in such close proximity to each other. School trips to Morocco are perfect for learning and observing the varied terrains and Rocky Mountains, gorges, valleys, vast Sahara and local interactions with both Berbers, the indigenous habitants, and Arabs to complement classroom learning.
Our Moroccan itineraries include natural wonders of gorges, valleys, examining the snowy peaks of the Atlas Mountains, the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage city of Ait Ben Haddou, trekking in the Sahara Desert with the opportunity of two nights of camping out under the stars in a traditional Bedouin bivouac, a visit to a Berber community. Marrakech is an opportunity to experience sustainability and tourism whilst exploring the ancient medina, souks, and the abundance of well-preserved UNESCO heritage sites, magnificent Mosques and beautiful Royal Palaces hidden within a labyrinth of ancient alleys. Our slogan is: we travel to learn.
