This program and experience has truly been a remarkable experience. It has opened my eyes to the world of the Middle East and allowed me to immerse my self in the cultures of the Middle East. I have made many great friends that I will be able to stay in touch with after the program has finished. Additionally, I have been able to experience living in a country outside of the United States, as I this is something I want to do in the future. I would full recommend this program to anyone who wants to gain real experience within the Middle East and get outside of their comfort zone.

What was your funniest moment?

Attempting to say I have a sesame allergy in Arabic at all the restaurants I go to

I love studying at AUC. the community is very welcoming. it definitely required some time to adjust to the different culture but everyone was so helpful and kind. The campus is beautiful and the business school professors are really fantastic. I made really great friends here. The city of Cairo has so much to offer and see. We were able to go different adventures every weekend. There is also so many beautiful cities outside of Cairo you can spend your weekends in. AUC is a really great and safe place to study.

This has been a trip I will never forget! The business school has been everything I expected. The faculty are lovely and really work for students to understand. The program teaches business to students in order to compete across the world. With the information being taught, AUC is fully prepared to produce the world’s next generation of business leaders. This can drastically impact the economy and markets of not only Egypt, but that of North Africa and the Middle East. I’m excited to study here one again.

My abroad experience was satisfying I accomplished all what I expected. The housing was on campus and my roommates were lovely and I still keep in contact with them. I loved the courses since they were different from what I was used to and I expected them to be all in Arabic but it was actually a mix between Arabic and English. I would recommend this to all people who are trying to flourish their knowledge of Egypt and I would recommend to take courses that study the culture in depth since it was not as I expected

I would recommend this experience as much for academic excellence as for the campus structures which are incredible.
Professors are are very attentive and there is an very various possibility of courses in every domain ! There is also plenty of conferences, art shops and sport possibilities ! The sport complex is huge and the life in the dorms looks very confortable

AUC provides as well buses from and to downtown and an efficient clinic

AUC life is one of the best. I had so much fun there and I meet really good and new friends. some of them are international and others are egyption. the experience itself is new for me. going around, traveling, and discovering new places is actually my hobby so I love being here to do more and more.
life on campus is really good too especially at night, the atmosphere and the light, and everything is amazing. I love to walk on the campus at night just to relax a bit. and in the morning staying in the garden to have some fresh air.

What was your funniest moment?

I had so much fun spending more time with my new friends and go out together to discover more places.

Studying abroad in Egypt was an amazing time. The academics at AUC are really great. The class offerings are especially interesting, and the professors all want their students to genuinely learn the material they are covering. Even better than the academics, though, are the cultural experiences here. Visiting Cairo is easy and affordable, and it combined with the classroom to teach me so much about Africa, Egypt, and Islam. It was really great to see how what I was learning in the classroom applied to the world around me, and to be able to appreciate your community more deeply as a result.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?

Roasted and stuffed pigeon! It's a traditional Egyptian food that is very good and worth it to try.

AUC campus is a whole melting pot! You get to experience a ton of new cultures and at the same time learn about the Egyptian culture. The professors care about your education and try to help you as much as possible. Cairo as a city is wonderful with so much to see and do! AUC offers clubs and activities for everyone ( robotics, film, photography, etc). The campus itself is beautiful! Plenty of gardens and sitting areas for the students to enjoy! Also they have a great gym with a big pool for anyone to use. My experience at AUC has been nothing but great!

Answer this question

Staff Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with program leaders.

Dr. Ikram is an Egyptologist who has excavated in Egypt since she was a student in 1986, and has also worked in Greece, Turkey, and Sudan. Her main interests in terms of ancient Egypt are death and mummification, daily life, food, rock art, experimental archaeology, ethnoarchaeology, archaeozoologist, and the cultural heritage protection. She has published extensively on these subjects, both for adults and children, and has also appeared on television.

What is your favorite travel memory?

The first time I went into the Great Pyramid at Giza when I was 9.5 years old was amazing – the dramatic architecture of the Grand Gallery that shot up through the pyramid was awe-inspiring, and the whole space filled me with wonder. This was one of the pivotal moments in my decision to become an Egyptologist.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

I have been blessed with the opportunity to live and work in Egypt, and have had access to study its monuments as well as to dig them up. I have also been able to take students to visit the sites and also to work on them, which allows both them and myself to grow as scholars and human beings, as we witness the astonishingly rich culture of ancient Egypt.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

One of the nicest things a student has said (actually, several of them say this) is that they have been extremely well prepared for grad school and that the Egyptology unit at AUC taught them how to think, question, appreciate, and be engaged with Egypt in a way that students who study elsewhere cannot. And, at conferences, they always insist on a group lunch, which is starting to mean taking over an entire restaurant.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

The Egyptology Unit at AUC is made up of wonderful scholars with a range of expertise who are engaged in ancient Egypt in a variety of ways. We have a unique understanding and way of interacting with Egypt's culture due to the fact that we live in Egypt and are immersed in both its present and past. We all publish extensively and are involved in a variety of field projects in which we involve our students.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

The Egyptology unit works (and plays) together for mutual benefit and also works very hard to ensure that our students have the best possible education as well as opportunities to work in the field and enjoy a wide variety of experiences as well as exposure to different scholars and intellectual paths.
