Alexandria, Egypt Arabic school
Why learn Arabic in Alexandria?
At Ahlan World Alexandria you will find a unique atmosphere which is different from Cairo in many ways. There are not many tourists and foreigners, so most Alexandrians are not used to speaking in different languages.
As a result of this, Alexandria is a great location to practice speaking Arabic to local citizens in many different situations, including in many different shops, in markets, with neighbors and more. They will be more than happy to talk to you, answer questions, and give you advice. And if you want to do any traveling in Egypt, it is often quite easy to find cheap transport to what is called the ‘North Coast’ of Egypt. On your way, you will find several holiday villages and private beaches where you can relax and swim without being disturbed. Although Alexandria is a city of approximately 6 million inhabitants, it is a comfortable and warm city. Difficulties are rare and neither the people nor the officials give problems to foreign tourists. Everyone you know is more than happy to help you in any situation.

In the past, Alexandria was one of the most important cities in Egypt. It has an imposing library and was an important trade route during the time of Alexander the Great. Alexandria functioned as a link between cities in Greece and those of the Nile. Today, ancient ruins mingle with imposing monuments in a vibrant city, unique in the Mediterranean and around the world. Strolling through the souk (marketplace), having a juice in one of the seaside cafés, having a delicious fresh fish dinner, visiting the ancient Greco-Roman monuments, the wonderful mosques, and studying Arabic at the brand new and world-famous Alexandrian Library are just some of the exciting activities you can experience in this unique city. Learn Arabic in Alexandria and you will enjoy a unique experience.

The teachers are the nicest people whom you really make a connection with. They know how to work with students and they are very professional. In the 10 weeks I learned as much as was possible and I’m really grateful for that! The school also arranges a trip or a dinner quite often, so you can connect with other students as well. Special thanks to Amira, the director (and my friend) who arranged a lot of things for us including the trips. Shokran ya shabab! See you all soon inshallah."

The School is well organized, the teachers and staff are friendly, professional and competent. The Director Amira is a kind-hearted, sincere and authentic person, super available for any need.
