Egypt
Study, Work, Volunteer and Travel in Egypt
Pharaohs, pyramids, the Sphinx, the Luxor and vast deserts of immense beauty—all this and more from one of the world’s most ancient civilizations, Egypt. There is enough here to lure anyone with an intrepid heart and an soul full of wonder for the mysteries of humankind. But ancient enigma is not all there is to Egypt.
With the second-largest economy in the Arab world, Egypt is not only a financial strong contender in the region, its long-standing history of relations with the West also make it a social and cultural leader in the Middle East. Egypt also plays a key role in efforts to resolve the Middle East conflict. However, high unemployment and low standards of living as well as consistent terrorist attacks are some of the battles that Egypt is fighting on home ground.
The capital of Egypt is Cairo, which is the most populous metropolitan area in Africa. The city is the hub of education and educational services not only for Egypt but also for the Arab and African world. It is also the country’s cultural and commercial center.
