Description

Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, it is now the second largest city in Egypt and only 230 kms from Cairo.

Alexandria is known as "The Pearl of the Mediterranean" and offers an atmosphere that is more Mediterranean than Middle Eastern.

Alexandria with a population of more than 4 million, offers a unique atmosphere and is considered the most diverse culturally of all Egyptian cities.

Our small school is on the first floor of a building located in the city center, in the Mancheya district near the old Ottoman neighborhood. It offers nice classrooms, small cafeteria and wi-fi.
