What fascinates me about InterNations? I did not only make new friends but found new business partners, too.
Meet the 51ԹϺExpat Community of Marrakech!
You've made it to the Red City — welcome to your friendly expat community! 51ԹϺis here to help you settle in and connect you with like-minded expats in the city. You no doubt have a myriad of questions that can seem as confusing as the tight, winding streets of Marrakech itself — "where's the best place to buy my groceries?" or "how do I apply for a residency permit?" Fellow Marrakech expats know exactly how you feel and are more than willing to guide you. Spending a week in Marrakech will leave you with memories of mint tea and bustling bazaars but stay longer and build your life in this culturally rich city, and you'll certainly discover more.

Getting to Know Marrakech, the Expat Way
By far the biggest work opportunities for both expats and locals are in the growing tourism industry. Between the imposing red sandstone walls, people run, stroll and ride mopeds to unknown destinations or turn into nondescript doorways. Hidden behind these doors you'll find bright, open spaces — and it's here, operating a riad, or guesthouse, where you can exercise your business, architecture, design, and hospitality skills. The majority of tourists in Morocco are French, French being the language used for most government or official business. In everyday life you will more likely hear Arabic or Berber being spoken, so learn a few common phrases to ensure smiles throughout your day! While Marrakech's popular tourist attractions are certainly awe inspiring (the buzzing craft bazaar and ancient mosques, palaces, gardens, and tombs), there are plenty of calm, cool places in which to escape. On a hot summer's day head over to Beldi Country Club or Jnane Tamsna for a dip in their luxurious pools.
51ԹϺis the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. 51ԹϺmakes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Riyadh or Dubai, 51ԹϺallows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

The idea to connect global minds in Rabat is just great. This plattform should have existed when I first moved here four years ago.
