Study Abroad Programs in Morocco

With incredible ruins, breathtaking architecture, and a diverse culture, the better question is — why not?! Find elements of history from Europe, Africa, and the Middle East as you take the chance to do things you’ve never done before. Ride a camel through the Sahara Desert to see the incredible orange sand of the Erg Chebbi dunes, rev a 4x4 engine, and camp overnight in a luxury tent under the stars. Through a Morocco study abroad program, you’ll get a glimpse of the Islamic worldview, Arabic AND French language, and traditional customs that are a part of life here — and that’s just scratching the surface.

The Greatest 4 Months of my Life

March 05, 2025by: LilyClaire Alpert - United StatesProgram: Semester at Sea: Global Study Abroad on a Floating Campus
10

Semester at Sea changed my life in more ways than I thought possible. I had incredible travel experiences like visiting the Taj Mahal in India, spending a night under the stars in the Western Sahara Desert in Morocco, and seeing penguins at Boulders Beach in South Africa. But all of my travel memories were made so much more meaningful through the classes I took while on Semester at Sea. Learning about the diverse cultures of the countries we visited through lenses of literature, religion, social change, and global studies was an unmatched opportunity. Additionally, I took oceanography during a span where the ocean was truly my home. In addition to my travels and academics, Semester at Sea brought me lifelong friends from all around the globe. In 4 short months, the strangers I boarded the ship with became my family. If you are considering doing SAS, this is your sign!! I have 0 regrets and will cherish this experience for the rest of my life. I am already a year out and I still find a way to bring up SAS in conversation every single day.

A Guide to Studying Abroad in Morocco

Where to Study Abroad in Morocco

From the North Atlas Mountains and the winding streets of Fez to the Saharan oases, Morocco offers landscapes and scenery that will make you giddy with delight. Here are the best places to study abroad in Morocco.

The largest city in Morocco, Casablanca, is a port city that acts as an economic, business, and financial hub for the country. It boasts Mauresque buildings — a blend of French colonial architecture and traditional Moroccan style. Mosey through sights as you enjoy the warm Mediterranean climate and take your mind off your studies.

You’ll find Marrakech to the north, a city brimming with landmarks. Practice your Arabic and bargain your way to a good deal in the labyrinth of souks (marketplaces). Sip a cup of green tea with mint, sashay through the Menara gardens, and relish the spicy and flavorful cuisines.

Most study abroad programs in Morocco are in the capital city of Rabat, with plenty of opportunities to study Arabic or French. Here you can watch a show at Theatre Mohammed V, explore Chellah Necropolis, and stroll along Ville Nouvelle's palm-lined boulevards. We recommend spring and summer study abroad programs here!
