An overseas voltage transformer and an outlet adaptor with round plug prongs will be needed. Batteries are sold in Cairo. Many of the text books used at the Institute are listed below. Students who already own these books, may bring them. Otherwise, the books may be purchased at the AUC Bookstore.
Costs given below are in Egyptian pounds.
Naturally, students will not be required to buy all the books. The Arabic Language Institute's summer program includes day trips to various sites in and around Cairo in addition to a weekly lecture series. These are considered part of the program, and they are funded by the Institute at no additional cost to the students. During the course of the summer session, the Institute also arranges two optional week-end trips to sites of interest. Students wishing to participate in these trips must pay for themselves.
