Salih Mutlu Şen, the Turkish Ambassador to Egypt, expressed his pleasure in meeting a group of Turkish high school students currently visiting Cairo to enhance their Arabic language skills and deepen their understanding of Egypt’s rich cultural heritage.
In a message following his meeting with the students at the Turkish Embassy Residence, Ambassador Şen said he was delighted to see young Turkish learners taking an active interest in the Arabic language and Egyptian culture. The students, aged 15 to 18, came from Şehit Mehmet Güder Anadolu İmam Hatip High School and were accompanied by their teachers and school leaders.
“It was a great pleasure to hear from these enthusiastic young people,” Ambassador Şen noted. “I truly appreciated their reflections on Egypt and their recognition of the long-standing cultural and historical ties that unite our two nations.”
The ambassador also expressed his hope that more Turkish students would enroll at Egypt’s prestigious Al-Azhar University in the future—not only to pursue Islamic studies but also to study the natural sciences, reflecting the comprehensive academic opportunities the institution offers.
During the meeting, Ambassador Şen encouraged the visiting students to explore Cairo’s Islamic landmarks. He recommended visiting the Citadel of Saladin, home to the historic mosques of Mehmet Ali Pasha and Hadım Süleyman Pasha. He also suggested they see the Mosque of Ibn Tulun, the Sultan Hassan Mosque, and the tomb and mosque of Imam Shafi, which they had not yet visited.
