Arabic Language and Immersion in Cairo, Egypt

As you fly into to Cairo, Egypt one will be left speechless as they look out the window and see the contrast of the setting. Out one side of the plane, you can see the vast arid desert which seems to be never ending; out the other side of the plane you see a busy city which looks like a modern day Oasis.

Travelers from all over the world have been marveling at Egypt 's wondrous antiquities for thousands of years. Although these antiquities still exist today, a visit to Cairo , Egypt is more than an immersion into the past but also encompasses many modern day amenities which anyone will be sure to enjoy.

Just walking around downtown and in the older residential parts inside the wall of the city where craftsmen work on the sidewalks outside their homes is also a real pleasure. It is easy to meet real Cairenes that are eager to discuss anything with you. Some of them try to lure you into their carpet shop; others are really interested and interesting to talk with.

Our school is situated in Central Cairo on the west bank of the Nile, in an upmarket suburb called Mohandiseen. It boasts wide, bustling streets lined with restaurants, cafes and cinemas and is close to a metro stop.

Nearby side streets are quiet and shady, with small shops and boutiques. Downtown Cairo is a short 20-minute drive away, and world-famous pyramids only 30 minutes away.
