warmhearted welcome

I was in the Excellence Center for eight days and loved it. The appartments are big and in a quiet area. The friendliness of the people there is unbelievable, it's like a big family and after one day you feel like just a part of that family.
The volunteers come from a range of different countries, you don't have to be a native english speaker. I enjoyed the Arab lessons with my wonderful teacher Doha. I improved a lot and i loved to try the new words in the kitchen or at the souk after the lessons.

The tours through Al Khalil showed us deep insights in the circumstances, in which the people live here.
Please don t be afraid about our safety. As a foreigner, you won t have problems. I felt totally safe, also when i walked alone through the town.

This week was too short and i'll come back.

One advice: if you come in winter, don't forget warm clothes, Al Khalil is in the mountains and it is cold here.
