Living in Rabat, one of our favorite activities after a long day of classes is to go to the beach and watch the sunset.
The IES program places you with a host family in the "Old Medina" just minutes from the beach. You are neighbors with every other student in the program and the families have been hosting for years, making you feel very comfortable.
Overall, Rabat is amazing with so much to do and explore. Within days you'll feel your language ability improving with all the classes focused on engaging with the community.
I can not recommend this program more for both Arabic and French speakers alike.
