AUC reflects the best that Egypt has to offer. Kind and hospitable people, absolutely beautiful scenery and constant hustle! AUC, Cairo and Egypt offer adventure, unforgettable memories, smiles like never before and sunny days. I will never forget the experience I have had with the people and the culture.

My exchange here was an exceptional experience! The beautiful campus, the vibrant city, the delicious food, the diverse places across the country and most importantly the amazing people made these past months an unforgettable time! It is something I’ve never experienced as I’ve never been to the Middle East or any Arab country so it was more than worth it coming to Cairo!
