Visit five UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Meknes, Morocco’s youngest imperial city; Volubilis, with its impressive ancient Roman ruins; and Fez, Morocco’s oldest imperial city, prized for its cultural, religious and educational institutions. Follow an ancient caravan route in the High Atlas mountains, see spectacular Todra Gorge and travel to Ait ben-Haddou, a fortified city and UNESCO World Heritage Site. A highlight will be your excursion to the towering sand dunes at Merzouga on the edge of the Sahara, followed by a camel ride to watch the sun set over this dramatic landscape. Spend three nights in alluring Marrakech before concluding your adventure in storied Casablanca. For those who wish to continue to explore more of Morocco, an optional 4 day/4 night post-tour extension to Tangier and Chefchaouen is available.
This small group experience is limited to just 24 participants and will be shared with a cosponsoring alumni association. Please contact the Alumni Travel Study Program office for more details and to reserve your place on this tour.
