Why The EdTour?
Join us as we return to Egypt (Land of the Pyramids), in addition to our first-ever recruitment opportunity in the desert landscapes of Morocco and Jordan, and the coastlines of Tunisia. The EdTour – North Africa Fall 2023 plans to travel through Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia & Morocco. We are excited to return after a successful EdTour Africa (Spring 2023), where we met over 2000 students in the North African region.
Be ready to meet students, parents, and high school counselors across North Africa. Our tours offer a mix of school/university visits, and networking events with students, parents, and high school counselors. Country fairs in a couple of countries will be organized in collaboration with the U.S. Embassy and EducationUSA.
EdTour is run by a group of travel enthusiasts. Apart from meeting a diverse group of students, many fun activities are planned throughout the tour. From culinary experiences, to strolling through the Bazaars, EdTour – North Africa has it all!
