Student Housing
ON-CAMPUS LIVING
We are one of the only Institutes in Egypt providing on-campus living for families and single students. Living with other like-minded students is a great way to make new social connections, and even close friends while experiencing a new culture. Studying Arabic and Quran is a task that requires will and determination. Closely living with students that have the same goals as you, will keep each other motivation on track.
We have living options for single students (dorm rooms), small families and larger families. The accomodation is for 3-, 6-, 9-, or 12-month accommodation agreements. You can also rent on a day-to-day basis.

Study and live at the same place
Studio Arabiya has 2 campus buildings with dorms and apartments. One building is for male students and the second building is for female students and families. Each dormitory hall has four or five dorm rooms – most with air conditioning and heat optional add-ons – sharing two bathrooms (limited rooms with private bathrooms), a kitchen, and laundry facilities. Select dorms have in-house washing machines. The dorm room has two beds, a desk for each tenant, and two closets for clothing. Dormitories are available for both males and females (in separate buildings). Free WIFI is available for all residents.
For married couples and families with children, we have limited apartments on campus.
On-Campus Apartments
Quick access to classes makes a lot of the hassle of living in Egypt easier, as it can be pretty crowded sometimes. With all the traffic going on, there is a lot of things dependant to outside circumstances for getting around in time for classes. Therefore on-campus living would be recommended. Having the class in the same building where you have your family live just makes things so much easier. In addition, we offer campus daycare for children age 6 months and up.
Only for married couples and families with children, we have limited apartments on campus. The apartments can be with either 2 bedrooms or 4 bedrooms. As we want to make sure your stay with us will be exceptional our apartments include includes kitchen, AC/heat, and living rooms.
Off-Campus Living
Of course, you also have the option to live somewhere else and not at Studio Arabiya’s campus. You will find several options to live nearby off campus within a walking distance.
The apartments you can find living off campus are usually rented fully furnished and you will likely only need to purchase a few things to make your home comfortable. A decent quality apartment can generally be found starting $500 a month. The price can vary, depending on location, quality of furnishings and whether you live on your own or with roommates.
If you plan to arrange accommodation on your own, we recommend that you book a hotel for your initial arrival. In this way you can have a place to stay while searching for an apartment.
