I went here 2 years ago and found the reception highly unprofessional and rude. They have unfair prices for the same services that they offer. 1200egp for Russians and 140 dollars(5000egp currently) for me having an Indian passport. There are better places out there who are most respectful and professional, I did 2 levels at Lisan al arab and found it to be better before getting a private tutor. If you’re serious about learning arabic you can hire a good private tutor surely for far less than 140 dollars and get the best out of it as per your pace and level.
I have attended the school at several levels and I am very disappointed with many things. One of them is that those of us who come from wealthy countries have to pay more than others who come from less wealthy countries, even if those individuals have money, motorcycles, expensive clothes, and phones. We from Europe might pay three times as much as they do. Just because we live in Europe doesn’t mean we pick money from the trees and everyone from europe arent wealthy.
Another issue is that the school is very dirty—the classrooms and especially the toilets are extremely unclean. There’s never any toilet paper (even though you pay around $100 per level), and the classrooms are very dirty, one i was in had so many flies , no AC and some rooms are incredibly small. The chairs feel like they’re made for children because of how small they are. The lighting in the classrooms is also very poor, as well as the air conditioning, which, as I understand it, is only turned on during certain periods.
Another thing is that the majority of students at the school are from Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, etc., and most of the time they speak their own languages. This should be prohibited, and only Arabic should be allowed, because you can see students from these countries in advanced levels who still can’t speak Arabic properly.
Another issue is that some teachers are extremely bad—they waste time, arrive late, explain poorly, and assume everyone will understand immediately. Some teachers even help students during exams. There may be students who cheat, but the teachers say nothing.
Another thing is that when you first arrive at the school, the staff can make you feel very unwelcome. Everything is unclear, and they really need to improve their customer service. The staff should smile a bit more.
Another thing is that i study until 4 and my wife until 4.30 but we on the men’s side are not allowed to sit and wait in the lobby and they even turn off the ac in the waitinglobby. I don’t understand why, there are still students studying during this time. I have to wait outside in almost 40 degree heat…
I’m a non-native Arabic speaker, and I’ve had a remarkable experience at Fajr Arabic Language School. Despite my initial limitations, I was able to engage in simple conversations in a short time. I started from level 0 and now am in my 4th month. I’m thrilled with my achievements.
The school’s detailed instruction and dedicated teachers ensure comprehensive understanding.
What impressed me most was the personalized support they provided to my youngest child when he faced challenges, helping him meet the required standards for his level.

I strongly recommend this institute.
