 Why Study Arabic In Yemen?

 

 

Never colonized by a European power, the people of Yemen speak Arabic almost exclusively. This provides students with the rare opportunity to immerse themselves completely in the language. Yemen is home to an ancient and dynamic culture that only recently has begun to modernize -- often on its own terms. Steeped in a history that stretches back to the Queen of Sheba, virtually every region of Yemen has sites of cultural, archaeological, and architectural interest.

From the Marib dam of the Qur'an to the towering mud skyscrapers of Shibam in the Hadramaut, Yemen is a treasure waiting to be discovered. 


MALI is located in the capital, Sana'a, renowned for the architecture and bustling souk of the vast old city, which is protected by the United Nations with a $223.5 million dollar investment as a unique part of the human cultural heritage. Lying at 7,800 feet, Sana'a has a temperate climate year-round. The Red Sea and Indian Ocean are close by for vacations, and the cost of living is very low. Most students spend less than US$5.00 a day for all expenses.

 

 Travel To Yemen


Participants arriving from abroad should obtain a student visa from the nearest Yemeni Embassy or Consulate for the duration of their study period. MALI can provide letters of support to Yemeni embassies in this regard. There are direct flights to Sana'a from Frankfurt, Amsterdam, London, Paris, Moscow, Amman, Dubai, Cairo, Beirut and Damascus. MALI will meet all incoming students at the airport in Sana'a and provide transportation to and from our student housing. 

 

Specific in-country travel arrangements should be organized prior to commencement of courses.
MALI can also assist students wishing to incorporate travel to countries near Yemen such as the Gulf countries, East and North Africa, etc.
