Located on the tip of North Africa, Morocco is a country with incredibly varied landscapes, a deeply embedded Islamic tradition, and world-renowned hospitality. From the vibrant cities of Fez and Marrakech to the majestic beauty of the High Atlas Mountains, Semester at Sea students traveled all over this incredible country, documenting their experiences on the first stop of the Summer ’13 Voyage.
