Teaching Jobs in Morocco

Morocco is unlike any place anywhere else in the world. What other country borders a sea, contains part of a desert, features not one, but two, of the oldest yet most happening cities on the planet (Fez and Marrakech), and is less than an hour’s plane ride away from Europe? If the question is, “Why live and teach English in Morocco?” then the answer is, “Why not!” Here are the best places to teach abroad in Morocco.

Casablanca. This largest city in Morocco and major commercial hub is located in central-western Morocco on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. The Mauresque buildings that blend French colonial and Moorish architecture will make you swoon with delight. While you’re here, be sure to marvel at the Hassan II Mosque, explore the Quartier Habous, and promenade through the redeveloped Parc de la Ligue Arabe. 

Marrakech. At the foothills of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains in central-western Morocco lies this enchanting city that would make Jasmine from Aladdin green with envy. With a labyrinths of souks (marketplaces) that offer everything from carpets to pottery, you can haggle your heart out to the best deal for goods here. From the lavish palaces and riads to the heavenly tajine dishes and briouats (puff pastry), prepare yourself to be under a spell of delight. 

Rabat. The capital of Morocco is located at the mouth of the river Bou Regreg on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in the northwest area of the country. Don’t miss out on moseying down Bouregreg Marina, where you can see the Hassan Tower and the Chellah necropolis. Opposite of the Hassan Tower is the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, which is an Alaouite dynasty masterpiece, and it contains the tombs of this Moroccan king and his two sons.
