Internships in Morocco

Why Morocco?

Morocco lies at the crossroads of Europe, Africa, and the Arab world, resulting in centuries of blended influences that have shaped a rich and deeply rooted culture. Rich and diverse, it blends Amazigh traditions, Arab-Muslim heritage, Andalusian influences and modern contributions. Visitors will discover warm hospitality, fragrant cuisine, refined craftsmanship and a daily life punctuated by religion, family and popular festivals. Between historic medinas, enchanting music and a connected youth, Morocco embodies a vibrant, warm and constantly evolving culture. 

Cost of living in Morocco

The cost of living in Morocco is generally affordable, especially compared to European standards. A student or intern can live comfortably on a monthly budget of €350 to €500, covering accommodation, food, transportation, and leisure. Larger cities like Casablanca or Marrakech tend to be more expensive, while cities such as Fès, Agadir, or Tangier offer a more economical lifestyle. By choosing shared housing, eating local food, and using public transportation, it is possible to manage expenses efficiently while fully enjoying Moroccan culture. The local currency is the Moroccan dirham for which 1$ is approximately 9MAD Moroccan dirham. 

Languages

Classical Arabic is the official language of Morocco and is widely spoken across the country, though it is often blended with Darija, the Moroccan Arabic dialect, especially in everyday conversation. Amazigh, the Berber language, is also spoken, particularly in more remote or mountainous regions. French remains the major language in education, administration, and the professional sphere. However, English is becoming increasingly popular, especially among the younger generation and within the tourism industry.

Are internships in Morocco paid?

Internships in Morocco are generally unpaid, especially those offered to international students, as visa regulations do not allow companies to provide financial compensation. The Moroccan government considered internships as an exclusively learning experience which is not compatible with a salary employment. But some big companies and organizations still offer indemnification but those opportunities are rare.
