Learn Arabic in Rabat

Rabat

Situated between the Atlantic Ocean and the Sahara Desert, Morocco is a truly stunning country, and the gateway to Africa! Its capital, Rabat, is a truly historic city, and is famous for its traditional cuisine and architecture, making it a fantastic location in which to learn Arabic! The old part of the town, the Medina, is of particular interest to those who would like to get a real taste of the local culture and has many typically Moroccan shops including craft shops where you can buy one of Rabat’s famous carpets, as well as cafes where you can sample a traditional meantha tea! Despite its status as the capital city of Morocco, Rabat has a very compact city centre, with a much more relaxed atmosphere than other Moroccan cities.

Accommodation

Our Arabic language school in Rabat offers a choice of host family or student residence accommodation. If you choose host family accommodation, you will be welcomed into the home of a carefully selected host family, who will provide you with your own room, as well as your breakfast and evening meal. Your host family will encourage you to speak Arabic with them, and this really is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the Arabic language and Moroccan culture. If you would prefer to live more independently, and with other students, then you may like to consider student residence accommodation.

Activities

Our school regularly organises sightseeing tours to complement your language studies, and allow you to explore Morocco! Two local excursions are arranged per week, to places such as the Souks of Rabat, the Royal Palace, and the Kasbah of Oudaya amongst others. Weekend excursions are also regularly arranged to other places of interest in Morocco, including the Moroccan Sahara, Tangiers, Casablanca and Fes. The school also offers academic clubs that take place after lessons. These include calligraphy, Islamic studies and cooking clubs, and are designed to teach you more about Moroccan culture, as well as provide you with the opportunity to practice your Arabic outside of the classroom!
