Take Arabic Lessons on the Beach in Sinai
Come take Arabic lessons on the beach and learn about Bedouin culture on the Gulf of Aqaba between Nuweiba and Taba. Students will be staying in one of the first Bedouin camps on the Red Sea – just steps away from some of the best diving and coral reefs in Sinai. Each student will have their own individual bamboo hut directly on the beach and will take their formal Arabic lessons overlooking the sea with an experienced language instructor fluent in Arabic and English. The simple condition of the Bedouin camp and the surrounding beauty of the environment takes the student far away from the frantic pace of other Egyptian cities and allows them to focus solely on Arabic.
Program includes:
- 3 hours of intensive Arabic a day
- 1 free weekend excursion with Bedouin guides and translators (if staying 3 or 4 weeks)
- Weekly Bedouin musical gatherings w/ translation
or weekly conversation exchange with local Bedouin children
or weekly local craft demonstrations and lessons w/ local Bedouin women
- Optional diving instruction and organized dives (professional diving school at the camp)
Dates:
2-4 weeks in July and August 2012
(generally at any time, depending on the number of attendees)
