From the High Atlas to the Atlantic: Discovering Morocco

May 10-24, 2027
With Professor Paul Silverstein

Explore Morocco with Professor Paul Silverstein and fellow members of the Reed community. From Roman ruins and medieval cities to mountain villages and the Atlantic coast, this journey offers opportunities to learn about the country through its history—and through conversations with people who live there.

Meet coppersmiths, dyers, and weavers in Fez. Visit Goulmima, the oasis community where Silverstein conducts his research, to share music, food, and hospitality, and learn from his connections. Visit women’s cooperatives to explore their work and local traditions. Along the way, Silverstein and local guides will offer context for what you’re experiencing, with time to reflect and discuss together.

The itinerary includes Rabat, Tangier, Chefchaouen, Volubilis, Fez, the Atlas Mountains, Marrakech, and Essaouira. Accommodations include hotels and traditional riads built around interior courtyards.
