This is the last blog post from the NIMEP Morocco Trip 2019. All fifteen of us are currently reflecting on our experiences as we fly over the very same Atlantic waters that we saw hitting the shores of Casablanca a few hours ago.
The trip began twelve days ago in Rabat. As the capital of Morocco, we were fortunate enough to interview ex-Ministers in the government, officials in the Spanish embassy, journalists, professors. The four days in Rabat were action-packed for everyone in the group and set the tone for the rest of the trip.
From Rabat, the group split up into two delegations: the first going to Fes, one of the oldest cities in the world steeped in culture, tradition, and religion, and the second going to Tangier, a port city off the coast of Gibraltar where you found yourself hearing people speak Arabic, French, Spanish, and English among others.
