Language Programs in Egypt

Since childhood, you’ve been told stories of ancient Egyptian pyramids, camels trekking across sandy deserts, and mummies buried deep within stone tombs. There’s something timeless about Egypt; its history is still sharply apparent when walking down a crowded street in Cairo today. Yet, among the minarets and past the tea shops, motorcycles zip by, locals chat loudly on cellphones, and gleaming modern buildings stand tall. Language programs in Egypt will teach you new ways to communicate, while also providing you with insight on modern life in the Middle East (spoiler: there’s much more than pyramids and camels!).

A Guide to Language Programs in Egypt

Locations

Egypt is 95 percent uninhabited desert, but the life that Egyptians pull from the remaining five percent is immense. Most of the country’s 90 million citizens live near the Nile River, which provides water and arable land as it winds its way across the country. No matter where you choose to attend language school in Egypt, this powerful waterway will never be too far away.

Most of the population lives in a small geographical area, so the locations of language programs in Egypt are limited. The majority of language schools in Egypt are located in and around Cairo, the country’s capital and largest city. While the city’s frenetic pace can seem intimidating at first, Cairo’s charms are found in its neighborhoods, each one showcasing a different aspect of Egyptian life. Wander the ruins of Old Cairo, explore the center of Coptic Christianity, or wind your way through the medieval streets of Islamic Cairo. After language courses in Cairo, finish the day with a stroll in leafy Maadi and a visit to an outdoor café with your classmates.

Just a few miles upriver from Cairo, the sprawling city of Giza lies along the banks of the Nile. While the city has a modern feel to it, adorned with skyscrapers and a subway system, it’s the city’s history that brings in visitors. Both the towering Giza Pyramids and the Great Sphinx are located in Giza, and can easily be visited in between study sessions and language courses. Once you’ve gotten your fix of ancient architecture, you can check out the continent’s oldest zoo or wander through the Orman Botanical Garden.

For a different vibe, head to the coast and discover Alexandria, Egypt’s second-largest city. Often called the “Pearl of the Mediterranean,” this city has a cosmopolitan feel and is filled with beaches, cool breezes, and Roman antiquities. You can learn about the city’s history at the Alexandria National Museum or explore the underworld by descending into the spooky Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, where you’ll find statues and burial chambers dating back to the 2nd century.
