A family spent six weeks in Egypt (summer 2025) learning Arabic and sightseeing. They used indirect Lufthansa flights and bought 30‑day visas on arrival (USD/EUR cash), then broke their stay with an Umrah trip to avoid overstaying. They stayed in Nasr City (Cairo) in an apartment near a park and restaurants, used Uber/inDrive, and hired private Arabic and Qur’an tutors. Key sites: major historic mosques, Giza Pyramids, Egyptian Museum, National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation, Salahadin Citadel, and children’s museum.
