A mere nine mile leap across the ocean from its neighbour to the north, Spain, Morocco is one of only three countries with both Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts, while its interior is a study in aridity replete with dunes, rocks and sand. Its cultural influences – Arab, Berber, French, Jewish, and Spanish – contribute to its uniqueness among North African neighbouring nations. The legendary cities of Casablanca, Marrakesh, Tangier, and Fes host bustling spice markets and remarkably stunning mosques and hammams, drawing thousands of European vacationers. Cell phones and motorcycles remind travellers of its modernization, but Morocco still holds a patina of times past.

Morocco FAQs
Is Morocco a Muslim Country?
Yes, Morocco is predominately Muslim, with 99.9% identifying as Sunni Muslim.
What Should You Wear in Morocco?
In Morocco, opt for modest and respectful clothing, particularly in traditional and rural areas. Choose loose-fitting clothes that cover shoulders, cleavage, and knees for women; men should also avoid revealing attire. Pack layers for varying climates, comfortable shoes, and consider a scarf for head coverings at religious sites. In beach areas, swimwear is acceptable, but remember to cover up outside those areas. Adapting to local customs and wearing traditional clothing is appreciated, and be mindful of cultural sensitivity.
How Far is Morocco from Spain?
Morocco is located on the northwest coast of Africa and is separated from Spain by the Strait of Gibraltar. The distance between the two countries is approximately 8 miles.
When is the Best Time to Visit Morocco?
The best time to visit Morocco is usually between March and May or September to November. These months offer the best combination of pleasant temperatures and lower rainfall. This is also when the country is least crowded, meaning you’ll be able to experience the full beauty of Morocco without the hustle and bustle of the peak tourist season. However, Morrocco has much to offer throughout the year.
Is Morocco Safe?
Morocco is generally safe for tourists. Watch for petty theft in crowded areas, respect local customs, and use reputable transportation. Be cautious of scams and stay informed about travel advisories and health precautions.
What industries or fields are most popular for internships in Morocco?
Popular internship fields in Morocco through World Endeavors include youth development, public health, social work, nutrition, physical therapy, international relations, nonprofit management, web and graphic design, and sports management. These internships are based mainly in Rabat and provide hands-on experience in local organizations, nonprofits, and community initiatives.
What are the eligibility requirements for interning in Morocco?
To intern in Morocco with World Endeavors, you must be at least 18 years old and have a passport valid for at least six months from your program start date. While a background in your chosen internship field is recommended, it’s not required. Having relevant experience or coursework can improve your placement options. Visa requirements for Morocco vary depending on your nationality, and each internship program may have specific eligibility criteria. For personalized guidance or to confirm your eligibility, you can contact us directly to help you with your program selection and application process.
Will I get paid as an intern in Morocco?
Internships in Morocco through World Endeavors are unpaid. Paid placements are uncommon abroad due to strict visa regulations and the administrative burden on host organizations. Instead of financial compensation, these internships offer valuable hands-on experience, professional growth, and full support before, during, and after the program.
Can I get an internship in Morocco if I only speak English?
Yes, you can get an internship in Morocco if English is your only language. Two of the most commonly spoken languages in Morocco are French and Darija, a dialect of Arabic. Having a background in either language can offer a wider range of internship opportunities. However, interns placed through World Endeavors only need to speak English in order to participate in one of our programs. Internship programs in Morocco lasting at least four weeks include introductory Arabic language lessons that get you familiar with the basics!
When should I apply for internships in Morocco?
It’s recommended to apply for internships in Morocco between 16 weeks to a year before your intended start date. Applications received at least 16 weeks in advance help ensure enough time for visa processing and placement coordination. While last-minute placements may be possible, applying early is strongly encouraged due to limited availability and logistical requirements. For more details or to discuss your timeline, feel free to contact us.
