University of Alexandria

North Africa

I decided to go to Alexandria for my year abroad: most of my fellow students decided to go to Damascus for obvious reasons. The historical significance of the city, proximity to fellow Levantine countries like Jordan and Lebanon. But I decided to go to Alex; why? Alexandria is Egypt’s most populous city (behind the metropolis that is Cairo). It is located next to the Mediterranean Sea, which was a big benefit for me, as I love living near sea. Alexandria is a beautiful city, a city which I love and admire.

My time at Alexandria University was brilliant; all of the teachers, from Modern Standard Arabic to Translation to Literature were excellent. If you had any query or suggestion, they were more than happy to provide detailed answers.

My teachers at Alexandria University and SOAS urged me to practise Egyptian Colloquial Arabic every day; this can only be done by making several Egyptian friends and immersing yourself in the culture; for me that was playing backgammon in poor districts of Alexandria with Egyptian friends, drinking mint tea, smoking cigarettes and listening to Umm Kulthum. Watching Egyptian movies every day is a great help too. My year abroad in Alexandria is the main reason why I enjoyed and succeeded in Arabic.

Ali.
