IH Cairo

IH Cairo is a well established school, staffed by experienced professionals. The team has been teaching languages for 14 years.

In 2020 we moved to our new location in the Giza area of Cairo, in a downtown location near the left bank of the Nile River. We are in an area where there are Embassies and Consulates, near the Egyptian museum, the Opera House, Cairo Tower, and just 9 minutes walking from the nearest metro station.

We offer English Language and Arabic language courses as well as a range of teacher training opportunities from CELTA to DELTA and other specialist courses.

The owner Mina and managing director Esraa look forward to welcoming you to IH Cairo!

Here is how we impressed one of our recent students. "I have to admit that my expectations before coming to IH Cairo were quite low. I was totally shocked by the quality of the organization and the preparation of the teachers. I was completely surprised at the increased recognition of IH Cairo among international students.
