Egypt is one of the most historical and fascinating countries in the world, with a rich history, friendly people, incredible tourist attractions and so many places you can give back.
Projects are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Egyptian life from an insider’s perspective. You’ll live and work alongside your local hosts, teaching conversational English to school children and being shown the best sites by your newfound local friends.
As a trusted member of the community you’ll enjoy a deep sense of belonging, adding richness to your experience. Most of all, you’ll have a fun-filled experience in the “playground of emperors and kings”, making friends that you’ll keep for life.
