Horizon's relaxation day for its students, held in Zaghouan on April 28, 2024, was a moment of pure joy:
Our program began with a challenging mountain hike. After conquering this ascent, our young participants faced the thrilling rush of the famous zip-line activity in Zaghouan. Some eager adventurers quickly took the leap, effortlessly gliding along the line, while others, less daring and new to such challenges, waited nervously in line, mustering the courage to experience the exhilarating freefall.
The rest of our day was equally marvelous and captivating, as we trekked through the serenity of nature, amidst pine trees and fragrant bushes of thyme and rosemary, descending toward Lake Sidi Bou Medyen. Here, all students and staff enjoyed a peaceful break, savoring a delightful lakeside lunch.
The day continued with a variety of activities. Each participant received a brief introduction to kayaking before embarking on their own or paired journey across the lake, discovering the joys of this water sport. Students delighted in paddling and friendly races with their peers.
Our final destination took us to the old town, where everyone relished a memorable moment of relaxation and enjoyment, away from the stresses of urban life. Amidst narrow alleys and ancient houses, our youth created lasting memories, capturing selfies with friends in this traditional and ornate setting.
This blend of greenery and culture provided a fascinating journey for our international students and a magical escape for all participants.
