Al-Diwan is a language Centre specialising in teaching Arabic as a foreign language, a favourite with students from America. Their normal program has 18 levels where the text used is 'Kitaabul Assasee' and 'Al-Muhadatha al-'Arabiyya' (Arabic Conversation). As with all private institutes they have tailor made programs to suit the student. The course fees are in Egyptian pounds and thus not effected by the gain or loss of western currency.

The Egyptian pound has been gaining over the sterling and dollar in recent months, making it more expensive to study in Egypt. Please read our 'economics' section for further information on currency rates, travel needs and much more.
