A blend of Arab, African, and Mediterranean influences, this academic setting lends itself to those wishing to explore one of the world’s oldest civilizations. Cairo, the historic and bustling capitol of Egypt, is home to captivating landmarks and architectural wonders, such as the Pyramids of Giza and the Mosque of Muhammad Ali. Take courses in Egyptology, and discover the archeological sites, ancient artifacts, pharaohs, and Islamic customs of Egypt. Seek refuge from the desert heat and grab a quick bite along the Nile River, where you can taste traditional shawarma, ful medames, and falafel.
