TRAVERSE Issue 10 - February 2019 | Seite 118

There are three trips: Two five-day quickies and a more comprehensive exploration lasting nine days. Seriously - if you haven't been to Morocco, it's like you've just stepped into a movie about biblical times - you could easily come across Jesus or even Obi-Wan Kenobi along one of the back streets! Morocco is one of the most sta- ble countries in North Africa and considering it's an Is- lamic state, managed to avoid any significant fallout from the Arab Spring. Morocco stands out as an oasis of sta- bility amidst a region known for turmoil—thanks both to the circumstances of history and to clever leadership. King Mohammed VI has been progressive but firm and through this, managed to avoid the outcomes of some of his neighbours. The French and the Spanish were both colonists and so as well as Arabic and Berber dialects you'll often come across the Spanish and French language being used - so a bit of French will help you out! Dates for the rides start on May 1, 2019, there’s several options still available although many spots are filling fast.
