Explore the greatness of authentic Sephardic tradition while touring the colorful markets, architecture, and culture of Marrakesh, Fes, Rabat, Casablanca, and more.

Experience the very best of Morocco on this fully guided 9-day tour. Our travels begin in Marrakesh, an ancient walled-in city featuring bustling markets and exotic gardens. From our base in Marrakesh, we explore the diverse natural beauty of Morocco – with day trips to the Agafay Desert and the Ourika Valley at the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Our travels continue in Rabat, Morocco’s monumental capital along the coast, and then on to Fes, which boasts the largest medina in Africa and the cultural center of the entire Maghreb Region. We conclude the journey in Casablanca, Morocco’s modern metropolis, and the welcoming home to a proud Jewish community.

The experience tells the story of the Jewish People through the lens of Sephardic history and cultural traditions. Together, we will tour spectacularly beautiful synagogues, discover the stories of legendary Jewish figures, and learn about contemporary Jewish life in this Abraham Accords country. Along the way, we explore many UNESCO world heritage sites, browse seemingly endless markets, and embrace adventure in the Moroccan countryside.

Our Story Morocco is led by a professional Jewish educator as well as by a local Moroccan guide. Groups are limited to 28 adult travelers for your comfort.
