Some infos about your guide:
"My name is Mariam Sager. I came to Dresden 1996. I studied tourism, HR management and business French. I’m from Morocco, exactly from the red city. Do you know it? MARRAKESH! When I was studying at the university, I tried to work in different offices and made a lot of activities with foreign students. Now I teach French and Arabic at the university and I still have the nostalgia to join international people and to help them because I can feel what they feel once they are new in Germany or Dresden. I love the city. It offers a lots of opportunities!"
