There’s a huge difference between the Moroccan food served in restaurants and hotels, and the food that’s cooked in a Moroccan home. By staying at a homestay in Morocco, you’ll be able to taste authentic Moroccan home cooked food (Tagines, Couscous, Bastila,.). It’s a lot lighter, and has more variation and flavor than restaurant food. Some homestays even welcome their guests into their kitchen, and let them watch and participate in the cooking process.

The wealth of information that our hosts have about their local area makes deciding what to see and do a breeze. Such local knowledge is extremely helpful in getting the most from your visit. Many hosts are delighted to show their guests around their local area, providing them with invaluable insights that simply aren’t available from a guide book.

Whether you are here to learn Arabic or study another subject at one of our local Universities, you can improve your arabic by practicing with your host family. Also, Homestay is one of the best ways to experience Morocco from the perspective of someone who actually lives here, rather than as a tourist. Get to know the real Morocco ! We work with host families that are willing and able to accommodate students from various backgrounds, and who are carefully selected.

The hosts are a combination of traditional families, single parents, childless couples or singles. They have different backgrounds, careers and interests are carefully selected through personal interviews and visits to homes to ensure they are clean and in order.

Your host will be good for you as it will provide guidance and support to help you improve your conversational skills in Darija or Classical Arabic through regular practice.

The Host Familes are situated in 3 different zones of Rabat (Hay Riad, Rabat Medina and Agdal). These are residential areas with shopping, cinema, theatre and restaurants as well as excellent parks, tennis courts, swimming pools, libraries and other facilities.
