High School Study Abroad in Cairo, Egypt

Egypt, the "cradle of civilization," embraces a unique mix of modern Islam and Christianity, Middle Eastern folk cultures, and Western culture. Because ninety percent of Egypt is desert, almost everyone lives close to the Nile. In sprawling, cacophonous Cairo, robes are as common as Levis, donkeys share roadways with BMWs, and buildings made of mud stand next to glass-and-steel high-rises. By attending a local high school and living with a host family, you will be fully immersed in Egyptian society and culture. Throughout the year, you might also visit amazing cultural sites like the Pyramids of Giza and the Nile River. Get ready for an experience unlike any other! Egypt is an ideal place to step outside of your comfort zone, become a cultural insider, and engage in an exciting new adventure.
