How Morocco school trips could benefit your students

Morocco Highlight

A school trip to Morocco is an educational journey that immerses students in a world of rich history, diverse cultures, and beautiful landscapes. From the lively souks of Marrakech to the majestic peaks of the Atlas Mountains and the ancient streets of Fes, Morocco offers unforgettable learning experiences. With its combination of Arab, Berber, and French influences, the country provides a setting for cultural discovery. Highlights of a Morocco school tour include: 

  • Marrakesh: Immerse students in the culture of Marrakesh through interactive Arabic or French language activities, explore centuries of history in the winding alleys of the medina, and experience the artistry of Moroccan traditions through hands-on workshops in calligraphy, tile-making, or cuisine. These engaging encounters bring Marrakech’s history to life, deepening students’ understanding of language, identity, and cultural continuity. 
  • Atlas Mountains: The Atlas Mountains offer learning opportunities like visiting a women’s cooperative that produces argan oil to observing the water cycle and geological formations during a guided hike in the Ourika Valley. Students explore topics in geography, sustainability, and local culture in a real-world context. 
  • Bahia Palace: Explore the architectural beauty and historical significance of Bahia Palace. With its intricate tilework, carved cedar ceilings, and beautiful gardens, the palace offers a window into Morocco’s royal past and Islamic artistic traditions. This visit deepens students’ understanding of art, history, and cultural identity through one of the country’s most iconic landmarks. 
  • Lalla Takerkoust Lake: Lalla Takerkoust Lake offers students a peaceful setting to explore Morocco’s natural environment and water management. With views of the Atlas Mountains, it’s a great place to learn about climate, renewable resources, and the relationship between nature and local communities. 

Activities in Morrocco

Experience traditional camel riding

Students can try riding dromedaries, the iconic one-humped camels that have been a vital mode of transport in Morocco for over a thousand years. Explore the vast, sandy expanse of the Agafay Desert while learning about the role these animals play in local nomadic culture.

Discover the culture of the Ourika Valley

Discover the natural beauty of the Ourika Valley on a guided hike to its cascading waterfalls. Along the trail, students learn about the region’s Berber communities and their relationship with the environment. Exploring traditional villages and observing local customs provides insight into the balance between nature and culture. The journey culminates in the breathtaking waterfalls, offering a moment to reflect on Morocco’s diverse environments and the resilience of its people in preserving their heritage.

Experience traditional crafts through women’s cooperative workshops

Students visit a women’s cooperative in Morocco, where traditional crafts and sustainable practices come to life. A guided tour introduces them to the art of weaving, pottery, or argan oil production, highlighting the cooperative’s impact on the local community. Inspired by these skills, students then take part in a hands-on workshop, creating their own crafts while learning about the cooperative’s role in empowering women and preserving cultural heritage.
