While in Morocco, students will try traditional cuisine, visit Badi Palace, tour the medieval city of Marrakesh, the fortified coastal town of Essaouira, and even jump into a desert excursion to the Atlas Mountains! This trip is partnered with the MPH MUN program, with some students attending an MUN conference during this trip.
