Who is Academia Arabesca for?
Anyone who is interested in a deeper understanding of Moroccan culture is welcome. Our guests should be curious, adventurous, and willing to engage with Moroccan culture. Our members should feel that respecting local customs and traditions is important. Our guests have included families and individual members interested in discovering Morocco together during a few days’ holiday, as well as artists, photographers, and writers who have come for extended stays. School and university groups have come for specially tailored programmes. What’s the weather like? You can expect consistent sunshine year-round, with occasional rainy days during winter and spring. Winter nights can be chilly, and the summer months can be very hot. Our rooms are not heated, but we do have regular hot water for faucets and showers. What about money?
