Understanding the Arab Spring on a Voyage Along North Africa's Mediterranean Coast
Join Ambassador Ronald E. Neumann, the President of the American Academy of Diplomacy, as we explore North Africa’s Mediterranean coast. Visit the Moroccan town of Tangier, where a vibrant new artistic culture is emerging in the Arabic, French, and bohemian alleyways; Gibraltar, one of the world’s great landmarks of the sea; the seldom-visited Tlemcen, with its striking architecture; and Oran, founded in the 10th century. In Algeria’s Cherchell, Tipasa, Djemila, and Hippo Regius, we will visit excellent Roman ruins. Learn during onboard lectures; wander medinas and kasbahs; and discover a truly remarkable collection of sites whose history spans the centuries.
