The 2012 Moroccan Spiritual Tour

********* SOLD OUT *********

Stretching from the shores of the Atlantic to the sands of the Sahara, Morocco has served as a portal between Europe and Africa since the days of antiquity. With natural beauty only matched by its stunning architecture, a visit to Morocco is as much a feast for the soul as it is for the senses. Inspiration and home to poets and sages for centuries, the Moroccan experience has at its heart deep roots in Islamic scholarship and spirituality.

From the ports of Tangier to the souks of Marrekesh and mountains of Chefchaouen, Al-Madina Institute invites you on a unique tour of Morocco's most historic and picturesque cities with Imam Mohamed Magid and Shaykh Mohsen Al'Najjar. Join our two teachers as they reflect on the classical works of Moroccan luminaries such as Qadi 'Iyad and Ibn Ajiba on a journey through the rich spiritual and cultural tapestry of the Maghreb.
 
Reserve your place today for a memorable experience on Al-Madina Institute's 2012 Morocco Tour, to be held, inshallah, March 2, 2012 to March 11, 2012.
