Cultural discovery

Morocco, taught by the people who live it.

Medinas, calligraphy, traditional crafts, music, gastronomy. Twelve days alongside local artisans — not tour guides.

Tangier · Tetouan · Asilah Ages 7-18 12 days From €1,200

What this program is.

Three UNESCO medinas in twelve days. With artisans who have been doing the work for decades — not a guide reading from a script.

Each day pairs the children with a different practitioner: a calligrapher, a master tile-maker (zellige), a oud musician, a traditional cook. Sessions are practical — they leave each workshop with something they made themselves.

Afternoons are spent walking the medinas of Tangier, Tetouan and Asilah with our cultural educators. Children build a personal travel notebook by day twelve: sketches, recipes, music transcriptions, photos.

What surprised me most was that he came back able to write his name in Arabic calligraphy. And cooking us proper bissara. The program is real.
