I am extremely grateful that I had the opportunity to study Arabic in Cairo. Opportunities like that are rare, finding a great place to study in Cairo are even more rare - I am grateful that I found Markaz Diwan in Cairo.
If I had the opportunity to return to Cairo and study at Diwan I would do it in a hearbeat.
Not only does Diwan provide an environment which fosters Arabic study, but the teachers are also top-notch, and this what sets Diwan apart: the combination of great teachers and a great environment. Depsite the fact that I studied in the summer of 2002, over two years ago, I am still in touch with my Arabic teacher - this is the Diwan experience. I have recommended it in the past over other centers, and again do so now over the web. If you want to study Arabic in Cairo and get the most out of your expereince, there is no place for you other than Markaz Diwan
