History of the Center
Lesan Ul Arab Center for Teaching Arabic to Non-Arabs was established on the first day of Ramadan 1423 AH / November 2002 in Cairo, Egypt — born out of a responsibility to address the challenges people face when learning the Arabic language.
Over the past 25 years, the center has grown into one of Egypt's largest Arabic language institutes, welcoming over 15,000 students every year from more than 50 countries, religions, and backgrounds. Our graduates carry official certificates accredited by Egypt's Ministry of Education and recognised internationally.
Lesan Ul Arab has built cooperation agreements with educational institutions worldwide, taken part in international Arabic language conferences, and provided the ideal environment for researchers and learners seeking serious study of the Arabic language.

Our Vision
To achieve leadership and excellence in teaching Arabic to non-Arabs, and to train competent teachers who value constant self-improvement and are dedicated to spreading the Arabic language globally.

What We've Achieved
Since its founding, Lesan Ul Arab has provided quality Arabic language training to learners coming to study at Al-Azhar and other prestigious institutions in Egypt. The center regularly sees the graduation of students from Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Russia, Britain, France, and across Africa — each receiving a certificate approved by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
New course intakes begin regularly at all levels, taught by teachers with both academic and practical experience who specialise in Arabic for non-native speakers.
