About this trip
Why This Trip Stands Out:
Luxury Meets Affordability: Experience the indulgence of a 5-star trip, with stays in good hotels and gourmet dining at Morocco’s finest restaurants. Exclusive quality at a 4-star price, making it truly one of a kind.
- Effortless Travel Across Morocco: AVOID SEVERAL 6-8 HOUR BUS RIDES Morocco is vast—stretching over the length of Maine to Florida. Unlike many tours with several long 6 to 8 hour bus rides, we’ve designed our itinerary with high-speed trains and domestic flights, ensuring you enjoy seamless, comfortable travel and more time exploring Morocco’s wonders. .
- Expert Guidance by M. Aziz: Your group will be in the hands of M. Aziz, a University of Fez graduate with over 30 years of experience leading top-quality tours. His deep understanding of Moroccan history and Jewish heritage will enrich every part of the journey with stories, insights, and cultural context.
- A Deeper Jewish Connection: More than just sightseeing, this trip offers a profound connection with Morocco’s Jewish presence, past and present. You will visit historic Jewish sites—synagogues, cemeteries, and Jewish quarters—and meet Mr. Kadoosh, the President of the Jewish Community, as well as members from various synagogues we’ll explore. Services at the beautiful Simon Levy Synagogue of Fez. Each of these encounters deepens the bond with Morocco’s rich Jewish heritage.
- Travel as a Bridge Between Worlds: Morocco is a place where Jewish and Muslim histories intertwine. This journey offers a unique perspective on our shared past with the Muslim world, showing moments of both collaboration and resilience. As we explore, you’ll gain insight into the dynamic relationship between Jews and Muslims over centuries—a story of shared history, resilience, and cultural connection.
Exclusive Encounters and Cultural Enrichment:
Meet the Director of the Jewish Heritage Museum, the only Jewish museum in the Islamic world.
Attend insightful talk on the status of women in Morocco, giving you a unique view of contemporary Moroccan society by Professor Fatima Amrani.
Travel to the Atlas Mountains for a tradtional tea in a Mountain Berber home.
Enjoy free time to explore Morocco’s vibrant cities and hidden gems at your own pace.
A chance to connect with our shared past in a country that showcases the complexity and beauty of the Jewish-Muslim relationship.
