A Beacon of Interfaith Harmony: 

Morocco’s role in promoting peace extends beyond its borders. The country has long played a crucial role in Middle Eastern diplomacy:
  • Learn about the secret meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres and King Hassan II in Ifrane on August 7th, 1986. This bold move, controversial at the time, laid groundwork for future peace initiatives.
  • Discuss Morocco’s pivotal role in mediating between Israel and Egypt, which culminated in the historic peace treaty of March 1978, making Egypt the first Arab state to officially recognize Israel.

In a world often divided by religious and cultural differences, Morocco stands as a beacon of hope. This tour offers more than just a travel experience; it’s an opportunity to witness firsthand how different faiths can not only coexist but thrive together. As tensions rise in other parts of the world, Morocco’s example becomes ever more crucial.
