The Guardian’s Rachel Dixon recently did a round-up of the 10 best language with activity holidays around the world — and we made the list! Our Arabic and Moroccan cooking holiday — based in Tétouan in northern Morocco –came in at number five.
This holiday includes 20 modern Arabic language lessons, spread out over the course of 8 days. But, you won’t spend all of your time in the classroom — the school organises plenty of cultural activities as well as two, 90-minute Moroccan cooking lessons that end with a meal of all your delicious creations.
The town itself is a recognised UNESCO site, so you’ll be surrounded by culture old and new, and can even visit a traditional Moroccan medina.
For Rachel’s full article, follow the link or read on for the excerpt.
The piece reads:
“GoLearnTo.com has language courses everywhere from Scandinavia to South America. One of the most unusual is an Arabic and Moroccan cooking course in Tétouan, northern Morocco. The week-long course includes four 55-minute Arabic lessons a day, plus two 90-minute cooking classes learning to make tagine, couscous, harira and pastilla. Tétouan, a Hispano-Moorish town with a world heritage-listed medina, is at the foot of the Rif Mountains, not far from the sea.”
The article listed some amazing experiences from other travel providers, so we also wanted to point out that we sell five of the other holidays that topped the list, including:
- Mandarin courses in China
