Egypt, Israel & Morocco

Stand in the shadow of the great Sphinx and wondrous Pyramids at Giza, take an overnight train to Aswan, cruise the Nile River, visit Ancient Egyptian tombs, the Valley of the Kings, and fly to Cairo to explore the exciting chaos of this modern Egyptian city.

Discover the ancient history and religious importance of Israel as you explore what some believe to be the holiest sites in the world. From the modern city of Tel Aviv explore the ancient site of Beit She’an, King David’s Tomb, the Western Wall and more.

Wind your way through Casablanca’s Old Medina bursting with vendors selling rugs, silks and spices. Then travel to Fes, the Kingdom of Morocco’s second largest city, which is divided into three unique areas. And one of them—Fes el Bali—is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Finally, move on to Marrakech (via Meknes, Azrou & Beni Mellal) for a city exploration brimming with monuments, palaces and mosques.

Build a school in a Berber village in the heart of the Valley of the Roses, a delightful mountainous area filled with souks, shops and miles of pink Persian roses. Or customize your own volunteering adventure that mixes in some fun and games, too. Join locals for a soccer match and learn to cook local dishes such as couscous or mrouzia (a delicious lamb dish cooked with raisins, honey and almonds). Before saying beslama (goodbye) to your new Moroccan friends, wrap up your volunteer experience with a camel ride through the Sahara desert, a tour of the landmarks of ancient Marrakech and an exploration of Casablanca’s Berber and French influenced architecture.
