Morocco's
rich history and culture are part of the reason millions of
tourists visit the country every year. It is convenient to
travel to and from Spain and western Europe, and has an
incredible variety of attractions to discover. Notable
attractions include historic medinas (of Fez and Marrakesh,
for example), Roman ruins, the snow peaked Atlas Mountains,
and the rugged Atlantic coastline with the Mediterranean Sea
to the north. There are seaside cities like Asilah and
Agadir and Berber villages in the south and interior. You
can take a desert trek in the Sahara one day and the next
you can windsurf or kitesurf in Essouira.
The primary languages are Moroccan Arabic and French, as
well as Berber languages spoken in the rural areas. A visit
to Morocco is an excellent opportunity to study a strategic
language such as Arabic or French to open future doors.
Rabat, one of Morocco's 4 imperial cities, is easily
accessed by a great system of buses, taxis and a new tram
way system. The city boasts a number of must-see locations
including the Hassan Tower, a UNESCO world heritage site and
the Mausoleum of King Mohammed V. Rabat is also famous for
the ancient ruins of the "Chellah" and the cliff top Kasbah
of the Oudayas which overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. In
addition, Rabat enjoys a close proximity to beaches, parks,
the Mamora Forest, and traditional souks as well as shopping
malls.
The American Language Center (ALC) Rabat, a member of the
American Cultural Association of Morocco, has been providing
high quality language instruction in Morocco's capital city
for over half a century. Founded shortly after Morocco
gained independence in the late 1950's, the ALC Rabat
operates independent of any government affiliation/subsidy,
and is a Moroccan-based, non-profit organization. The ALC-Rabat
has been the choice for learners of English more than any
other language school in the area, serving several thousand
language learners per year at our headquarters and annex.
Our facilities include a library, a bookstore, a multimedia
lab, and our new Common Area for special activities.
