Description
We’re an Egyptian-American family happy to open our doors to travelers who want to learn, help, and experience real Egyptian life. You’ll have your own private bedroom and bathroom in our safe, comfortable villa just is north east of Cairo.
I am an English and accent-reduction teacher, and my spouse runs a small SEO and digital-marketing business from our home office. We speak mostly English, but Arabic is part of our daily life too—so you’ll naturally pick up both languages as we chat, cook, and laugh together.
We’d love for you to become part of our family during your stay. In exchange for accommodation and meals, you’ll assist with simple SEO and digital-marketing tasks—such as researching keywords, updating content, or organizing our website. No experience is required; I’ll teach you step-by-step. We usually work around 5 relaxed hours per day, leaving your afternoons free to explore the city or relax.
We ask for a minimum stay of three weeks so you have time to learn, settle in, and make the most of the cultural and learning exchange.
Please confirm your commitment to this arrangement before contacting us. Take a look at our profile photos to see our home and lifestyle. When you reach out, tell us a bit about yourself and include a personal photo or social-media profile—we only accept verified, genuine traveler
