Al-Azhar University is a natural expansion of the great mosque of Al-Azhar, which was completed in 972 (361 AH) in Cairo, Egypt. It is one of the oldest universities in the world and the most esteemed of Islamic academic institutions. The first lectures were delivered there in 975. While ten thousand students once studied in the Al-Azhar Mosque, today university classes are conducted in adjacent buildings and the mosque is reserved for prayer. The University of Al-Azhar continually promotes intellectual unity among Muslims everywhere in the Islamic world, safeguards its language, and seeks to reform Islam's cultural heritage and illuminate it for the benefit of mankind. Its classical focus has been upon the Quranic sciences, fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) and the traditions of the Prophet.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
It's the place I graduated from and I assume it's the best univesity in Cairo. Professors are understanding and kind, colleages are helpul and cooperative and studies are serious.

I can't even call it a university, it has very bad education, no services at all, not qualified to anything, no equipment for the laboratory, stupid bad security (falcon) and last but not least I really don't recommend it to anyone who wants to study any kind of science but Islamic.
