Cairo Egypt
Some meals are provided by the cafeteria but volunteers will have a kitchen they can use to cook their own food. There are markets everywhere to buy fruit and vegetables. Some of the staple food items include rice, bread, beans, and vegetables. There are also restaurants nearby that serve crepes and sandwiches. One restaurant close to NUA sells chicken pasta and koshary, which is an Egyptian dish.
Volunteers live in apartments on campus. All rooms have air conditioning and beds. However, it gets cold in the winter so volunteers should bring a blanket. There is a common kitchen and living room area. The school also has a soccer field, volleyball court, basketball court, and a small gym on campus. There is internet and the school takes tithe and internet out of the monthly stipend.
