School chain: The Ahlan schools all stem from the Ahlan World group. They have several schools throughout Egypt, Jordan, Morroco and Italy, teaching Arabic, at all levels, to the highest of standards.
The Ahlan philosophy outlines their approach to teaching. Their view is that learning a new language is not merely learning how to spell or speak that language, but also learning about the cultures surrounding the language and its history. Many Ahlan schools offer extracurricular activities, including local seminars, initiatives with local organisations, and weekly activities and excursions.
Ahlan means welcome, outlining how all Ahlan schools strive to make students feel welcomed whilst studying with them.

“I give 5 stars to all aspects of my experience at Ahlan.
All the teachers were incredible. I've never come across such high quality teaching. I thought I'd struggle because of dyslexia, but my teacher tailored my lesson to my needs.
All the staff were so friendly and made me feel at home immediately. If I ever needed help, I felt I can ask anything. The classrooms were nice and breezy, considering it was the hottest temperature weather outside. I'll look forward to coming back soon.”

“Friendly and flexible staff”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: The quality of teaching was average. However the teacher was willing to look into new subjects of interest for me. Other comments: 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).

“The general atmosphere was excellent. The relationship between the students and the teachers' staff was very pleasant, friendly and professional. Beside language studies we have received a deeper insight into Egyptian and Islamic culture through well-organized free time activities. (eg.: a week-end trip to the Sahara.)rnThe other very important and useful factor was the unlimited free internet access both at the school and in the accomodation which made communication with family and friends back at home very easy and cheap.”
Insider tip: “It was rather difficult to purchase notebooks in downtown Alexandria. I would advise other students not to rely on buying stationary in Alex.”
