Частые вопросы

Is Malaysia welcoming to Arab and Muslim students?

Yes. Malaysia is a Muslim-majority, politically stable, multicultural country that is very used to hosting students from the Gulf, Egypt, the Levant and North Africa. Halal food is everywhere, mosques and prayer spaces are easy to find, and English is widely spoken — most Arab students settle in quickly and feel at home.

Will I find halal food and places to pray?

Easily. Halal food is the norm rather than the exception across restaurants, malls, campuses and many global fast-food chains, and you'll also find Arabic and Middle Eastern restaurants in Kuala Lumpur. Mosques and prayer rooms are common in malls, universities and public buildings, so practising your faith is simple and familiar.
