•  The Map Center

We are aware that some of our students are adventurous, and there are those students who some people call “Do it yourself person”. We are dedicated to providing services to all our students even those who decide to arrange everything for themselves. The IAI realizes that knowing where you are and where you are going is an important factor in getting things done, even for those who decide to do it themselves as a means to seek adventure or for other personal reasons; hence we have introduced the Map Center . At the Map Center , one will find informative maps and accurate directions; a map of Cairo , Cairo 's downtown, and areas around our Nasr City. Detailed mapped directions from the airport to our Institute are also available. Click THE MAP CENTER to enter the Map Center .

•  Health Care

Normally, when people think about traveling overseas, especially to Egypt, what comes to mind is fun, fun, fun. Indeed, we are here to do our best to keep it that way. Changes in environment and climate may throw a person off his/her normal routine, and therefore render him/her sick. Changes in ones normal dietary intake may also be a problem for some people. Therefore, the IAI, based upon past experience, has developed a program which will, for the most part, assist our students to cope with their new environment.

We have established a cooperative relationship with several of the best private hospitals in Cairo to provide health care services to our students. That means, they have a specialized staff available that is aware of this critical cooperative effort, between our institute and their hospital, in making health care services easily accessible. Having expert health care personnel assigned to the IAI, who will advise the center and the students on how to remain alert and remain healthy while studying in Egypt . We have also introduced in our general student meetings and our welcome & introduction program topics such as:

1. How to over come Jetlag.
