The event featured authentic Moroccan dancers and musicians, a spice market, a rosewater perfume greeting, Moroccan mint tea service, a traditional waterman, henna, and a keynote speech given by Richard Gere.

The event was held inside the Liberty Warehouse, located in Brooklyn, New York, right across from the Statue of Liberty.  Guests arrived at the venue via water taxi, where a Moroccan band and dancers were waiting to meet and greet them.

The event was a huge success for Zohar productions and World Connect. Guests were enchanted by the elaborate decor and authentic Moroccan experiences. Take a look at some of the fabulous photos from the event below!
