Welcome to the Arabic House

“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.”

We are a language centre located in Marrakech, and we are located in the heart of the historic medina. Our establishment combines the feel of a luxury hotel with the tranquillity of a riad, it is the perfect spot to spend a lazy afternoon after a morning of Arabic learning, sightseeing or haggling in the souks.  

Whether you choose to learn Modern or Colloquial Arabic as a second language, the teaching and learning of Arabic is held in the highest regards at The Arabic House.  We recognize that Arabic offers a blend of critical language skills and applicability in over 20 countries with roughly 300 million native speakers.

Recent research by The British Council puts Arabic in second place of the languages most needed by Europe in the next twenty years and there is already a high demand and low supply of Arabic-speakers in the Western world.

The simple fact is that languages are crucial for life and work in an increasingly globalised world.  Furthermore, understanding another language is the basis for understanding another culture – and an open mind and an international outlook have never been more important for people living in the 21st Century.  We fully reflect and support the vision for all those interested to develop high skills in Arabic.

Here at the  Arabic House, we strive to create a place where guests can combine  holidays with artistic and traditional experiences. Excursions, cultural events, cookery lessons, calligraphy, craft workshops and the beldi, a traditional Moroccan bath are all on offer, with accommodation in five comfortable, individually decorated rooms.

Sip some tea or feast on a traditional meal in our intimate courtyard, with its plush Moroccan lounge, or simply enjoy a relaxing moment in our sitting area, with provision to read books, laze around or just chill out.Above, our spacious roof terrace offers lounging and sitting areas with rooftop views. It is also perfect for an al fresco breakfast.

We speak your language, come to our “House” and learn how to speak ours.
