IN MEDINA
We can heartily recommend staying with a host family. It is an ideal practice situation to immediately put into practice what you have learned in the lessons. Moreover, you get to know the people, their way of life and the customs of the country better. The word 'family' should not be taken too literally in this context: a host family is not in all cases a family with growing children, but can also be a single person or a hospitable older couple. When several students stay at one address, they will be of different nationalities as much as possible. Of course, this form of accommodation requires some adjustment from both the host family and the student; family life goes on and the (eating) habits will sometimes be different than at home. Country wise, country honour. However, you will soon feel at home with your host family. You get a house key so you can go where you want. Our experience is that staying with a host family almost always contributes to an unforgettable time in the Arab world. Bringing a typical present / souvenir for the host family often works wonders.
