Morocco is such an attractive travel destination due to its cultural, ethnic, and geographical richness on one side and its safety, good infrastructure and openness towards the West on the other side. Throughout history, Morocco has been the gateway into Africa.

Cultural Adjustment
Throughout the program our program leaders give cross-cultural orientations on issues such as the family homestay or how to be respectful while taking pictures of people or special places. For many Moroccans the standards of living may be very different than what participants are used to, so displays of wealth such as jewelry and technological gadgets are discouraged throughout the program.
Participants are encouraged, supported and expected to make a genuine effort to learn more about the people and culture of the host community
Safety
Morocco is a well-established and safe travel destination. A large sector of the economy is based on tourism.
We organize travel as a group with private vehicles and experienced program leaders.
Health
There are no vaccinations required for the areas we visit in Morocco.
Adequate medical care is available in Morocco’s cities. Specialized care or treatment may not be available. Medical facilities are adequate for non-emergency matters, particularly in the urban areas.
Hygiene: it is required to be prepared that the standards of aesthetics, service and hygiene in public places cannot be compared to those in the West
