The English School Kelaa

Life in the city is incredibly affordable, and you can find everything you may need within walking distance. Restaurants, cafés, markets and shops are found everywhere and you can expect to live very comfortably on a small budget. The community are very welcoming and friendly, and it’s not unusual to be invited into someone's home for dinner or lunch. On Fridays we usually dine at the home of Mama-malika (famous in our eyes), a lovely Moroccan lady who invites us in for a beautiful couscous meal, as is custom on prayer day. You will find this a little more laid back than the already laid back lifestyle!

We are located around an hour's drive from Marrakech, on the outskirts of the world famous Middle Atlas mountains. From here, you’ll be able to experience some of Morocco’s lesser seen beauty in a relatively short journey - the Ourika Valley, treks in both the Middle and High Atlas, Ouarzazate and the Ouzoud Falls are all available to see during time off. For long-stay volunteers (over 1 month) we can arrange a three-day trip to the desert (only the cost of the diesel is shared). Some weekends we may also visit the coast as a group and take some leisure time on the beach or explore nearby cities.
