Wish I could stay forever

“I absolutely loved my three months in the intensive Arabic Program with Travel to Palestine, and can’t wait to return in the future. My teacher Haya was incredible. I couldn’t read a single Arabic letter before my arrival here and never thought that by the end of my time here I would be reading and writing so well in Arabic! Haya pushed me and helped me believe in myself, even when the work felt difficult. I will miss seeing her every day, along with all the other incredible staff at the Center.
Osama and Marwa have been such amazing hosts and were always available when I needed guidance or assistance. They planned all kinds of incredible activities for us, and ensured that I was able to experience all that Al Khalil has to offer during my time here. They truly made me feel like a member of the family and I will miss them so much.
Coming to Palestine and spending three months at Travel to Palestine was truly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and cannot recommend it highly enough. It’s been a life-changing experience.
What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Come with an open mind and heart, and you will love it here.
Pros
- Being made to feel part of the family
- Excellent educational environment and teachers
- Cultural immersion?”
