Program Overview

A summer internship in Rabat, Morocco’s capital, is an opportunity to witness the country’s current economic, cultural, and demographic changes. You’ll engage with both French and Arabic speakers in this UNESCO World Heritage City, nestled between the Bou Regreg River and the Atlantic Ocean.

As you walk the boulevards of Rabat, it’s hard not to be enchanted by the mystery and tradition of this timeless city. From the bustling souqs (open-air markets) and energizing atmosphere of the city to the serenity of the nearby sea, Rabat is an ideal place to learn about the languages, cultures, and religions of North Africa and the Middle East.
