Experience a Moroccan Homestay
What is a Homestay?
A homestay is a glimpse into real Moroccan life. You could stay in a hotel or riad, but staying with a Moroccan family allows you to experience life as locals do. The homestay includes full room and board, with home-cooked meals everyday, as well as living daily life with the local family, being immersed in culture and language.
Why should you consider a Homestay?
The best way to experience culture is by spending time in a local home. And Moroccan hospitality is legendary because people love opening up their homes and sharing food and drink together. Time in the home, and especially around the table, is a gateway to friendship, understanding, and language learning. If you are studying a language in Morocco, staying in a Moroccan home will exponentially grow your language learning and cultural awareness. Consider doing a homestay in the first six months of your language learning to receive maximum benefits.

What is a homestay really like?
After almost a half year in Morocco learning Darija, I felt ready to take the plunge. Wanting to stay at a place for multiple months, I was advised to try out a couple of different homes. So I decided to dip my toes in for just a week at first.
