During the program, many of our students travel to explore the beauty of different cities in Morocco. Asilah, a peaceful town on the northern coast of Morocco, is a tranquil and beautiful destination on the Atlantic Coast. Offering a refuge from the nearby bustling cities of Tangier and Tetouan, Asilah features deserted, quiet beaches and a relaxing atmosphere. The town has Mediterranean-influenced buildings, including whitewashed houses with blue accents on walls and doors. The array of houses decorated with paintings highlights the island's reputation as an artists' hangout.

The ARANAS program provides the students with an opportunity to spend a weekend with a Moroccan Family. This is a free service provided by the School of Humanities and Social Sciences in collaboration with "Home stay in Rabat" managed by Mr. Lotfi Bendahmane.

"The ARANAS program was a fantastic experience. I learned so much more than I would have ever imagined. My Arabic improved immensely, but even more importantly, I learned so much about Moroccan history and culture. I think about it everyday, and am looking for ways to come back as soon as possible!" (Caroline Harman)

The Arabic and North African Studies program at Al Akhawayn University in Morocco is an intensive summer program that provides a wide range of opportunities to students from all over the world, at the undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate levels. Over the last 14 years, more than 730 participants from 36 nationalities, most of them affiliated with North American universities, have come to the Middle Atlas Mountains in Ifrane, Morocco, to develop their Arabic language skills, learn about North Africa, and experience various aspects of Moroccan culture through club activities and field trips to such places as the sand dunes of southern Morocco, the historical medina of Fez, and the dazzling city of Marrakech. This number is in addition to the dozens of exchange students who take Arabic during their time at AUI.
