Majesty of the Moors on Tour
The Moors were Africans of the northern and western part of Africa who ruled Spain for almost 800 years, from 711-1492. Through their science and technology, they lifted Europe out of the Dark Ages and precipitated the European Renaissance. In addition, it was the Moors who preserved the Kemetic (Egyptian) cultural and scientific legacy when invaders attempted to destroy it.
Majesty of the Moors on Tour is an incredible journey through Morocco, Spain and Senegal tracing the movement of the Moors along with their influence. Travelers will see:
- Fez, Morocco, the spiritual capital
- Tangiers, Morocco (northern port)
