Morocco Sahara Odyssey

People-to-People Experiences: Spend A Day in the Life of Asfalou village where a local family will share their daily routine and show us how to prepare a traditional meal. Plus, meet members of the Imik Simik Women's Association for Rural Development—supported by Grand Circle Foundation—near Aït Benhaddou, where we'll learn how these local women aim to improve their quality of life and foster independence in young women. You'll also share a meal with a local family in Fez during a Home-Hosted Dinner.

O.A.T. Exclusives: Venture off the beaten path to spend 2 nights at a private tented camp in the legendary Sahara Desert. Our camp is located close to a sand dune sea near Merzouga where few foreigners venture, along routes known only to the camel and goat-herding Tuareg nomads. We'll also have candid conversations about Controversial Topics such as the challenges faced by young women in contemporary Moroccan society. By speaking to local people directly affected by these complex issues, we'll gain a deeper understanding of day-to-day life in Morocco.
