Course: Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) - 3 weeks
Student age: 14 years
Friendly and flexible staff
I booked an MSA course plus intensive teaching (3 plus 2 hours). Due to the fact that I was the only student in my level and that I was only staying for two weeks in Egypt, the school offered me private lessons in the afternoon (2 hours MSA and 1.5 hour intensive teaching).

Teachers.
Good teaching methods.
Very satisfied.
I would have had a description of the payable trips, what is included and what is not, before departure. Not just a verbal statement from the school and a price that changes thereafter.
