When you think of Morocco, you probably think of bustling souks, colorful rugs, and luxury hotels and riads. However, there is so much that lies beyond Marrakech and your Instagram feed.
The vast majority of the Moroccan population comes from Berber descent. The Berbers are the indigenous people of Northern Africa, representing a culture that goes back thousands of years. However, beyond touristy day-trips to a traditional Berber village, visitors to Morocco rarely see this side of the country. Our team at THE VACATION PROJECT recently went on a trip to Morocco with a specific mission: Discover the genuine side of Morocco by appreciating the luxury, art, and social life of Marrakech while also immersing ourselves in a remote Berber village, spending 4 days volunteering and becoming a part of the community. www.facethecurrent.com
