Your guide will accompany you for a day in Marrakech investigating urban issues including sustainability, redevelopment, resource management, transport and economic development. Consider how youthful, dynamic and aspiring Moroccans in this rapidly developing city in an LEDC live alongside more traditional Islamic culture. In the evening you may choose to return to the Square and spend time watching the local entertainers, where snake charmers and acrobats, fortune tellers and dancers vie for your attention, and visit the spectacular food stalls which make the atmosphere unforgettable on your school trip to Morocco.

Morning & afternoon: Free time in Marrakech. Transfer to airport for return flight to UK

Depart to the home of the Argan tree – unique to this calcareous semi-desert region and the source of popular Argan oil. 
Whilst here, visit an official Argan oil cooperative and learn about the oil’s production, with the opportunity to purchase some. After lunch, continue to Essaouira (‘Windy City’) in this western economic region on the Atlantic coast protected by a natural bay. Here, students can walk down the beach and visit a wood factory before exploring the ancient Media of Mogador built by the Portuguese, now a UNESCO World Heritage listed city. 

The journey allows good opportunities for your guide to speak about solar and hydroelectric power use and semi-arid farming, before heading back to Marrakech.
