Why Choose Marrakesh For An Educational Tour?

Discover A New Culture

Cookery classes, sharing traditional meals and visiting the medina for local shopping experiences. Just a few days spent in Marrakesh and nearby rural Berber villages will teach a great deal about timeless traditions and way of life, broadening the horizons of your students.

Furthermore, a school trip to Marrakesh will likely be very different to many places your students have visited before. New sights, sounds, smells, and an energetic environment will no doubt create an experience that lasts long in their memory.

Geographical

During a special trip to the Atlas Mountains, students will learn important take-home and actionable messages about climate change and the impact it has on rural communities.

On camels, they’ll head into the desert to discover life in dry, arid conditions – highlighting the importance of water conservation. They’ll even have the chance to stay overnight in a Bedouin camp, discovering a traditional nomadic culture that stretches back centuries.
