OVERVIEW

We travel to Spain and Morocco to enjoy the cultural and religious diversity of this exotic land. We explore the influence of the Moors, Celts, Africans and Arabs as well as the French in Morocco. A rich Christian heritage abounds in Spain and an interesting Jewish connection in Morocco. We also consider how modern day Christians fare in these places. Travelling with like-minded people on a culturally rich holiday experience.

Your Australian tour leaders have lived and worked in Morocco for 8 years and have a passion for the country and its people. Currently working at Melbourne School of Theology and a Christian Secondary College. They both speak enough Moroccan Arabic to ensure you will get a good cup of coffee!

You will get to know your tour leaders more and have the chance to ask questions in your preparations to travel together.
