Sanaʽa Institute for the Arabic Language (SIAL) is located in the Old City of Sanaa, Yemen, on Sa’ilah Street. The school specialises in teaching Arabic as a foreign language.
SIAL also teaches courses in Arabic calligraphy, Islamic studies and Yemeni culture.
The school, located in a house in the Tabariya neighbourhood, attracted many students from the United Kingdom and the United States before the September 11 attacks in 2001, but today most of the students are from the Indian subcontinent and the far East.
The founder and director of SIAL is Muhammad Al-Anasi. He attended Reading University in the 1980s and was Arabic language program coordinator for the Peace Corps in Yemen.
