Morocco: Entrepreneurship

Morocco’s main industry is importing and exporting. Aside from the local arts and crafts found on every street, many industries are involved in trading, including food/produce, textiles, leather tanneries, wineries, and more, which students witness firsthand through workshop and cooperative visits.

There’s no shortage of amazing places for students to take in: ancient ruins of Challah, Andalusian Gardens, High Atlas Mountains, Ourika Valley, Rabat’s ancient medina and Kasbah. Through guided tours, students gain insight into the modern and traditional architecture and customs.

Moroccan food is diverse and derives from multiple cultures but the commonality between it all is the abundance of spices, which adds robust flavor to dishes. Students participate in a cooking workshop to create delicious dishes from scratch, including couscous and a savory stew called tagine.
