Description: Study Arabic in Yemen

We at the Saba Institute offer the highest quality of service employing specialist teachers with many years of experience in teaching Arabic to foreigners.

Our flexible programs are designed to suit all levels of ability. To this end we offer private lessons and group classes, which are intentionally small with never more than 5 students.

The prices at Saba are competitive. Concentration is on the quality of instruction and not quantity, such as the number of books used or the number of levels completed. Saba is very flexible and we not only teach students at the institute but also expatriates in the work place or at home.

We strive to offer the students as much help and assistance outside the classroom in order to make their adjustment to life in Yemen as quickly as possible so that their energy can be directed towards their study. Students have access to our library, which contains books on culture, curriculum, eastern studies and more. There is also wire-less Internet access 24 hours a day.

We also have weekly discussion sessions over topics chosen by students and cultural fusion programs designed to bring students into close contact with Yemeni society through the attendance of weddings, schools, cultural foundations, universities, private homes and other social gatherings.

Last but not least is the location of the school in the heart of Sana'a, which is full of culture and history and exudes an odor of the future. All this helps learners with the acquisition of the language by bringing them into direct contact with native speakers in an ancient and at the same time truly modern Arabian city.

Saba Institute's Mission Statement: The Saba Institute is a recently-founded institute devoted to providing the highest quality of Arabic language education. Our philosophy is to maintain a high degree of flexibility and to adjust to the needs of the individual student: courses can begin at any time in the year, and start at any level, though they generally take 50 hours over 5 weeks. Schedules are flexible, and for ex-patriates can even take place in the workplace or the home. We strive to offer the students as much help and assistance outside the classroom in order to make their adjustment to life in Yemen as quickly as possible so that their energy can be directed towards their studies, including access to a library of Arabic and Arabic-language-related literature. We also offer accommodation in the heart of Sana'a's gorgeous Old City.
