Morocco is one of the most popular travel destinations for intrepid tourists looking for wonderful experiences and luxurious facilities at a reasonable price. Shatour’s partnership with an expert Morocco Jewish tour guide allows you to book a fascinating combined visit to Israel and Morocco.

 

Morocco is a Middle Eastern country which treasures its rich Jewish heritage and welcomes Jewish visitors. Located on the north-west tip of Africa, just across from Spain, it combines the best aspects of European, Arabic and African cultures. It is a land of stunning contrasts, from the beautiful green landscapes of its Atlantic Coast, to the snow-capped Atlas Mountains, and the arid expanses of the Sahara Desert. Wherever you travel, you will be overwhelmed by its diverse and exciting views.

 

Shatour offers you the opportunity to combine a trip to Morocco with a visit to Israel, either choosing to travel to Israel and then continuing to Morocco and then home, or starting in Morocco and then flying to Israel. Groups of any size can book a private tour, whether family or friends.

He is fluent in Arabic, French and English, and he has been recognized by the French government for his important research on the history of the Jews of Morocco during the years 1948-1968.
