Description

Learn Arabic in Fez, enjoy your Arabic learning vacation in this ancient walled city.

The walled cities are the main attraction of Fez. The whole old city of Fez has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The immense medina of Fes-l-Bali is a huge labyrinth. In order not to get lost it is best to keep in mind that when you walk down you go towards the center, when you walk up, you leave the center.

Our school is in a residential neighborhood, housed in a Moorish-style villa with small garden, easy walking distance to the city center and Medina.

The school is also home to an English language school, thereby enabling interaction with young Moroccans. Students are welcome to use all of the school's amenities such as the private garden, library, TV area and snack bar.
