He has wonderful contacts and friends all over the country and we benefited from this very local flavor as a result in the 11 days we were there, which made for exceptional experiences during our stays in Marrakech, Casablanca, Assouria, Tangier, and the desert.

Each city provided a new culinary experience, whether it was eating in the Market in Marrakesh, fresh sardines in Essoura, cous cous at the Idrissi's, all kinds of tagines and olives, freshly baked bread from a community oven, or sweet treats like Zaa Zaa.

Riding a Camel was both exciting and scary, Seeing the victims of the recent earthquake and how are coping was a learning experience.

I just completed a private Arabic course with DC Internationals MESALI instructors Nadia and Abdou.

I strongly recommend MESALI for any person who is looking to learn a new language, or enhance a language they currently possess as the professors are flexible and accommodating at all levels.

As a student in the beginner Arabic class, I was impressed when my classmates and I were able to read words in script within a few classes while learning a significant amount of vocabulary and constructing sentences at a rapid pace.

I started the first class at a level below meeting standards for my occupation and by the time I finished the second course, I was far exceeding requirements.
