Experience Morocco on Oakton Tour
Experience the cultural delights of Morocco on a travel/study trip sponsored by Oakton Community College. Three excursions are scheduled for 2005: April 9 - 23, Oct. 1 - 15, and Oct. 15 - 29.
Start with the museums, monuments, and mosques of Rabat, and enjoy a lecture on Moroccan traditions and Islam. Drive through enchanting forests on the way to Volubilis, where the influence of Moulay Ismail, one of the nation's most powerful political leaders from the late 17th and early 18th centuries, may still be seen, including stables for 12,000 horses and cathedral-proportioned granaries that held 20,000 prisoners and slaves. Travel on to the imperial city of Fez, home to the Karaouine Mosque and the Islamic religious university, El Attarin Medersa. Following a stop in Marrakesh, the journey ends in modern Casablanca.
This excursion through Morocco is filled with culinary delights and cultural interactions. For more information and complete itineraries, call Bea Cornelissen at 847-635-1812.
