High School Study Abroad in Middle East

As home to some of the world’s holiest sites, the Middle East stirs up more conversation, conflict, and inspiration than possibly anywhere else on Earth. While many people shy away from visiting this region, it actually presents amazing opportunities for teens, with the chance to enhance global understanding of a misunderstood region while challenging students’ global thinking and communication. From world-renowned Arabic programs in Jordan to wildlife conservation programs in Egypt, the Middle East offers endless options for high schoolers looking to challenge themselves and learn in one of the most controversial areas in the world.

A Guide to High School Programs in the Middle East

Locations

Most students go-to locations in the Middle East are Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, but there are so many places that high schoolers can study or travel in the Middle East beyond Israel. Whether you are interested in the religious history of Israel or the wildlife along the Nile River, there is a location and program that is right for you.

Always an intrigue to people, Israel is truly the cradle of modern-day civilization. As the holy land for several religions, this small but highly-populated country is both a region of conflict and a place of divine beauty. Even if you are not spiritual, there is something overpowering about the centuries upon centuries of history, the millions of people who make pilgrimage every year, and its diverse landscape and territories. Not everything has to be serious in Israel, however, and teens will love riding on camels through the desert and sipping herbal teas in the palaces and temples of magnificent rulers.  

Quickly becoming one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Middle East, Jordan is known as “the crossroads of the Middle East.” Its unique position in the center of the region makes it a prime location to begin your high school adventures, and its recent educational renaissance has made it a very popular place to study abroad in high school. Jordan is perfect for students looking to explore thousand-year-old crypts and temples as well as those who enjoy tasting pistachio desserts on patios overlooking the desert sunset.
