And whats not to admire with its good

climate, natural setting, and well-devel-

oped inrastructure? Not to mention aplethora o diverse attractions, sights and

activities rom lavish and luxurious to

backpacking on a budget, Cape Town has

something or everyone.

The beaches o Cliton and Camps Bay,

Table Mountain, Chapmans Peak and the

expansive gardens o Kirstenbosch are

just some o the natural attractions.

People dont just love Cape Town or its

blue sky, though; theyre also interested

in the colours it takes on ater dark.

Thousands visit each year solely or the

theatre, talented perormers, excellent

restaurants, wine estates and bars.

South Aricans are also looking orward

to hosting Aricas rst ever world cup,

the 2010 FIFA World Cup in June

2009. This exciting, world-class event is

not to be missed. Located in the heart o Sea Point,

students can enjoy proximity to a number

o exciting attractions.

Sea Point is situated between Signal Hill

and the Atlantic Ocean, a ew kilometres

to the west o Cape Towns Central

Business District (CBD). Moving rom Sea

Point to the CBD, one rst passes through

the small suburb o Three Anchor Bay,

then Green Point and seaward rom Green

Point is the area known as Mouille Point

(pronounced MOO-lee), where the local

lighthouse is situated.

Sea Point is divided by Main Road and

enjoys a bustling 2 4-hour cosmopolitan

vibe with its many shops, takeaways,

restaurants, clubs, internet caes and

coee bars. Just about everything you

need is ound in this part o the city and

it hums with activity. IH accommodation

is also within walking distance rom the

above hustle and bustle.

The amous Sea Point promenade

runs the length o Sea Points beachront,

rom Mouille Point to Bantry Bay and is

also a hub o activity, particularly in the

early morning or late aternoons.

A number o childrens parks run along-

side the promenade and Sea Point

beach adjoins an Olympic-sized seawater

swimming pool at the Pavilion.

From Bantry Bay along the

promenade you reach the trendy

and there-to-be-seen beaches o

Cliton and Camps Bay.

The Green Point Stadium in Cape

completely new 70-000 seater, all-

weather, multi-purpose, environmentally

sustainable, modern, technologically

advanced, world-class stadium giving

expression to the Arican Renaissance

Stadium at the juncture between

Table Mountain and the Atlantic

Ocean at the southern tip o Arica.

and colourul nature othe South Aricans.Each and every momentin Cape Town was oneI will never orget.

ILI - International House Cairo is located in a prime area

of Cairo, central, in easy reach and quiet. Cairo, whichEgyptians proudly call the Mother of All Cities, spreads

along the banks of the River Nile for 40km (25 miles)

north to south, the largest metropolis in Africa. Travel-

lers through the ages have been both fascinated and

repelled by Cairo. On its east side stands the evidence

of 2000 years of Islamic, Christian Coptic, and Jewish

culture still flourishes to this day. On its west side lies the

Ancient Egyptian city of Memphis (Giza), the renowned

capital of the Old Kingdom and the site of the Pyramids.

Full day excursions are organized by ILI each Saturday.

The ILI Arabic Language Institute was established in

1975. Over the years we have handled a huge range

of students: individuals, company groups, archaeolo-gists, business-people, diplomats, UN agencies, VSO,

university students and professors, tourist language/

culture groups, foreign offices/embassies and even

the British Army. The ILI building is well situated with

easy access to the city. The ILI Arabic Language

Institute has 14 air-conditioned classrooms, the

International Language Bookshop, the Restaurant, the

Student Library and Study Room/ Internet Centre. The

building has recently been completely refurbished

and air-conditioned and offers excellent facilities to

the students.

Courses

Courses are scheduled so that it is possible for commit-

ted students of Arabic to study both, Egyptian Collo-

quial Arabic and Modern Standard Arabic. The spoken

language of Egypt is the most widely understood in the

Middle East. The Modern Standard Arabic course is

designed to enable you to use and understand the writ-

ten form of Arabic used in newspapers and the media.Although we open courses every 4 - 5 weeks, you can

take as many as you wish. You will join group courses

from beginners to advanced levels. Special courses,

private classes and one-to-one tuition are other options

available. ILI is able to design courses to meet the

needs of special groups.


The ILI provides airport & hotel booking service and as-

sists in finding or sharing flats. Another option is to book

a room at the ILI Residence.

Xian lies about 1200 kilometres south of Beijing in the

province Shaanxi. In former times the city was the start-

ing point of the Silk Route, and had the same magnitude

as Rome and was the residence of 13 dynasties. Most

well-known is the Qin-Dynasty thanks to its young ruler

Qin Shi Huang Di when two thousand years ago, he

unified seven states to the Chinese empire and became

Chinas first emperor. With a population today of eight

million, Xian is considered as a large city. Even by the

Chinese! Yet the historical buildings, the close alleys

and the city-wall from the 14th Century, which is the

most completely preserved in China, yet it still appears

like a small town.

the sChool

International House Xian was created particularly

for foreigners, who want to learn Chinese where it

is spoken firsthand. And especially for those who

would like to learn a language not just by studying

vocabularies! We offer the chance to practice using

language among people, who use it every day on the

road and of course, about what they laugh about and

how they think.

Our language courses have only 4 to 8 participants and

a guarantee that offers many communicative situations

during the course. And that promotes an inspiring class

atmosphere and a rapid learning progress. We use only

Native speakers for our students.

scarcely off-site the southern city wall. Bus stops can

be reached by foot in seven minutes. From there it is 10

minutes downtown. The taxi fees when in the centre of

pletely furnished dwellings at the disposal to our pupils

within proximity of the school which they can inhabit

if desired either alone or with one or two other class

participants. All dwellings are selected and examined
