Multigenerational Jewish Morocco — 12-Day Family Tour

This twelve-day journey is built to carry every generation across the full sweep of Jewish Morocco. It opens in Casablanca with Temple Beth-El and the Museum of Moroccan Judaism, then settles for three nights in Fez, whose 650-year-old mellah and restored Ibn Danan Synagogue sit in the city of Maimonides and Rabbi Isaac Alfasi. From there it reaches out to the imperial heritage of Meknes and Roman Volubilis, the Sahara dunes of Erg Chebbi at Merzouga, the palm oasis of Skoura, and the desert Jewish communities of Tinghir and the Dades Valley. It closes with four nights in Marrakech — the Lazama Synagogue, a Jewish family table, and a High Atlas excursion to the Ouirgane tombs of Rabbi Haim Ben Diwan.
