Learn Arabic in Oman
Learn Arabic where it is spoken: intensive lessons in small classes, accommodation close to the school, excursions around the country – and personal support from your first question until your journey home.
What to expect
An intensive course that goes far beyond the classroom: you live the language every day – in class, over lunch, on excursions and in everyday life in Muscat.
Intensive lessons
25 lessons per week in small classes with no more than eight participants. You train speaking, listening, reading and writing – with real texts from newspapers, TV and the internet.
Language partners on site
An extra 2 hours per week with local language partners: this is where you use what you have learned – in real conversation.
Living close to school
Student apartments within walking distance of the school, separate for women and men – with kitchen, Wi-Fi and washing machine. A single room is available for a surcharge.
Omani lunch
On lesson days the school serves tea, coffee and home-made Omani lunch. Restaurants and supermarkets are just around the corner.
Excursions & culture
Every course month includes at least one half-day trip and one overnight trip – with teachers and language partners, so you keep speaking Arabic on the road.
All levels
Whether you are a beginner or advanced: before the start we assess your level so you learn in the right class. All learning materials are included.
Why ArabVista?
“I spent two weeks on an Arabic course in Muscat and really enjoyed my time. The organisation by ArabVista worked very well: the documents arrived on time, questions were answered quickly, and I felt well looked after from start to finish. Travelling alone, that gave me a lot of confidence.” (translated from German)
