Study In Egypt

Going to Egypt with your spouse and children to learn Quran and Arabic is an excellent way of developing your faith and relationships within the family. Even if your children don’t learn that much, seeing their parents seeking knowledge will inshaAllaah be a good example for them to hold on to later in their lives. Unless the parents are planning on working in Egypt, it is likely that you will spend more time with each other which should help to develop a closeness that is sometimes difficult in the normal rat race culture. Although going with the family will present challenges, we should remember that the reward is often proportionate to the difficulty we face. Many families are only able to go for the summer holidays because parents don’t want to take their children out of school or because they cannot take more time off from work. Even these four to six weeks in the summer can be really beneficial in terms of improving one’s tajweed, Arabic and memorization of Quran.

In this post, I will try to outline the process of setting up home internet access, a landline and your mobile phone. Mobile phone: You need your passport to purchase a SIM card.

You can do this after collecting your bags and before exiting the airport terminal. Bear in mind that there is a tax on all goods, so if you are charged 114 LE for 100 LE of credit, don't be alarmed. You have the option of 4 operators.  Vodafone Etisalat Orange WE - government operated I have found Vodafone to have the best overall network reliability (from cities to villages, VF had the strongest signal in my experience). I haven't tested WE, so can't comment on it.  If you need a package with minutes, texts and mobile data, then you can look at the postpaid plans on offer. Flex is another alternative - detai
