Volunteer in Morocco

Get a hands-on educational experience by giving back. Visit a remote Berber village in vital need of educational support and help build a school for local children. You might find yourself building the roof of a single story building, laying down water pipes or even painting the interior of a classroom. And why not show locals where you come from by making a mural of your state or country on the classroom walls!

Practice saying idh-iyessbhène (pronounced eed-ee-yes-ben), which means “hello” in Berber, before joining locals in the heart of the village square for an evening of traditional food, dance and song. What better way to immerse yourself into Moroccan culture than through these authentic tastes, smells, sights and sounds of Berber life. Participation is required!

This tour of Marrakech is bursting with the best that this ancient Moroccan city has to offer. Explore the Medina, the Koutoubia Mosque, the Djema El Fna Square and the Saadian Tombs, a mausoleum discovered less than a century ago where some sixty members of the Saadi Dynasty (who ruled Morocco in the16th century) rest. Lastly, wind your way through the bustling souks for some last minute shopping.

Follow in the footsteps of Hollywood legends in the city made famous by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. On this walking tour of North Africa’s largest port city, take in old world Arab-Muslim architecture juxtaposing modern European designs. Notice striking cultural detail from the Royal Palace to the seventh largest mosque in the world, the Hassan II Mosque, that towers majestically over Casablanca’s skyline. Then, meander the souks of the Old Medina swirling with silks, spices and artisan crafts before kicking back to piano tunes at Rick’s Café. (Go on … request As Time Goes By. Just one more time!)

Your flight home is overnight. You will return home on Day 10.
