Host Family: Unfortunately, due to cultural restraints, this option is only available to female students. Living with a host family provides the opportunity to learn about everyday life firsthand - something that will remain unknown to most of the tourists visiting Egypt. The school has carefully selected host families for course participants. In the friendly atmosphere with your host family you will easily find your way in the new surroundings. If you are interested in the Egyptian way of life and willing to participate in Egyptian customs, then you should stay with a host family. You will certainly have an unforgettable experience in Cairo in this unique and friendly atmosphere.
The host family accommodations offer a private room with breakfast.  Since only females have the option to stay with a host family, males must utilize the other accommodation options.

The host families are typically located about a 20-35 minute distance by metro from the school.
