“I spent 2 months at Medina Camps and took the regular Arabic course. The lessons were very efficient. At the beginning it's a bit hard to get into, but after about 2 weeks you should be well into it and make a lot of progress with the Arabic language. The teachers were all very kind and warm-hearted too – they could explain everything well despite the language barrier and made an effort to teach you more.”
“I spent a week here and I'm completely satisfied. The accommodation was exceptionally clean, superbly maintained and in a perfect location – right near the mosque. I'd especially like to highlight the host. He was incredibly friendly, helpful and always took the time for every question. Whether tips or recommendations, I always got the best answers and advice. His hospitality was something truly special. The only thing I slightly regret is not having booked the Arabic course as well. I'll definitely make up for that next time. Thank you so much for the wonderful time. I wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation and the entire offering, and thank you a thousand times!”
“Staying at Medina Camps was a fantastic experience from start to finish! The atmosphere is incredibly nice, clean, and peaceful—perfect if you're looking for a calm getaway. The rooms are spotless, well-maintained, and properly air-conditioned, which made our stay super comfortable. Hygiene standards throughout the camp are top-notch. I highly recommend Medina Camps to anyone looking for a refreshing and comfortable stay. Easily 5 stars!”
“When I say you wish it lasted even longer than 3 months, that's the truth. It's so good. School is fun – honestly more fun than holidays. And it's in Medina. A relief for any soul – away from places and people that aren't so pleasant. I'm already considering joining the next camp while still here.”

The most common questions about the camps – at a glance.
Women generally study in the morning – typically 10:00–13:00 (Sunday to Thursday). Men have lessons in the afternoon/evening, from around 16:00 (Saturday to Wednesday). Friday is the shared day off for both groups. The shuttle picks you up at the accommodation and brings you back after class. The number of hours depends on the booked course: • Standard course: 2 hours of Arabic + 1 hour of Quran • Intensive course: 4 hours of Arabic + 1 hour of Quran The rest of the day is yours to plan freely. These times are the baseline; course-specific changes are communicated before the course starts.
Men's Arabic course: no prior knowledge needed. Your level is determined on day 1 with a placement test – beginners and advanced learners are equally welcome. The intensive course adapts to the level of the group. Women's courses, depending on the course: • Online "Arabic for All Levels": none – ideal as a starting point. • Arabic Intensive (on-site): read & write Arabic. • Speaking Intensive (on-site): read & write Arabic + basics.
