Sneak Preview


On the AUC campus. Here is only a snapshot of a much bigger, but still very cozy campus with elaborate garden and fountains. It's really very beautiful, and it is an oasis in Cairo, but like I said earlier, I like the thump-thump bustle of the city, there's this inexplicable buzz. Check-in and orientation are this week, today was an opportunity to get a look at the campus, familiarize myself with the surrounding area.

Wow! The campus looks really cool, right down to the Pharoah's headgear as archway motif. What was the campus before?

Will be interesting to compare campus life and city life.

The buildings of the campus were intially constructed in the 1860's for the Minister of Education at the time, Khairy Pasha, as a palace for him and family. Then, in 1920, it was taken over as the home of AUC.
