Clothing

For training, it is good to bring loose trousers or shorts in the summer, t-shirts and in the winter some over-clothes or track suit wear. It is useful to have a pair of running shoes for jogging and stamina training, but for regular training, students usually wear a type of thin-sole trainers that can be bought easily after arriving.

To Consider

It is advisable to bring a power adapter if you are bringing any electrical equipment with you from your home country. There are power sockets in the rooms that students can use. You could also bring a basic medical bag with you and any other special items from your home that are unlikely to be available near the school.

Money and Banking

ATM's in Morocco can be used to take out money using a card. Cash can also be sent from a foreign country through the Wise application. Traveler's cheques can be cashed at a bank but may take a little while to process. Please note that the closest ATM is within 25 Km of the center. Plan accordingly

We do request a 500 dhs/$50 Security deposit to be refunded in full the day of your departure assuming your room is returned in good condition.

Health

In Morocco, local clinics and hospitals are well-equipped and have many western medicines. In a medical bag, it is convenient to have things like sunscreen, insect repellant, band aids, some cream or ointment for cuts and bruises, something for an upset stomach or nausea, any prescription or allergy medicine and multi-vitamins if taken.

Visitors are not recommended to drink un-boiled tap water in Morocco. For training, students either fill up their bottle with pre-boiled water from us freely or buy boxes of bottled water as they are quite inexpensive.

One of the best places I've been to if not the best, the room was spacious, and also the living room and kitchen and internet were super quick. If you are looking to retreat to somewhere quiet, with beautiful views and great weather, gym, fresh fruit, and also a chance to get involved in some meditation and Shaolin training and great fresh homemade cooked food this is the place to go. And finally, Sham and his family are the most beautiful human beings and made me feel like their own family, I will be 1000% returning as this is my new home from home. 5 stars all the way🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Younger students less than 16 years old are accepted if they are accompanied with their parent or older relatives – particularly a brother or a sister. Ensuring there is good quality teaching, every master is supposed to manage seven students in the winter and less than fifteen students around in the summer.
