Situated at the North of Africa, Morocco has long been considered a crossroads between Africa, Europe and the Middle East. The Moroccan culture is a unique blend of both European and Arabic influences that date from ancient times to the present day.

Morocco’s mountain landscapes provide the perfect location for trekking; students have the option to experience phenomenal hikes that weave through Berber villages allowing for an in depth cultural perspective, or traverse the Rif Mountains in the north of Morocco and pass through beautiful and friendly mountain villages offering a
unique glimpse in to life in rural Morocco.

Marrakesh is a lively city buzzing with snake charmers, street merchants, and local markets. The stunning architecture of the hidden palaces and the labyrinth of winding alley ways will capture students’ imaginations and prove unforgettable for years to come.
