Anyone ever hear of this place? Supposedly in "greater Cairo". They posted an ad on bayt.com about four days ago.

I'll let it speak for itself.

It's almost funny - here is an institution supposedly offering

And yet, every link on their page, brings up this or a similar message:

"Not Found

I'd place good money on the idea that the content that is grammatically accurate was stolen from another site.

Language academies in Egypt are pretty rare-at least ones where a foreigner could make a decent living. "Greater Cairo" means out in the boondocks where a taxi will overcharge you to take you there, and you'll be hard pressed to find a taxi to take you home.

I googled it and all that came up was the ad referenced in the OP. Sounds like a place to give a miss for now.
