WE’RE REOPENING IN NOVEMBER!

Hello and bonjour. We are happy to announce that we are (finally!) reopening starting Monday, 2 November 2020. Our library, bookstore, café and reception will be ready to welcome members and visitors then. French classes will continue online until further notice.

We remind you that masks are mandatory on the premises at all times and must cover your nose and mouth for the duration of your visit. There will be a cap of 20 people in the library to prevent overcrowding and spaces will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. We ask for your cooperation in practicing proper social distancing so we can keep each other safe.

Our timings will be Monday to Saturday from 9:30 AM to 5 PM.

Looking forward to welcoming you again at the Alliance in November! À très bientôt.

Important updates relating to Covid-19 closure

Faced with the health risk due to the advance of the novel coronavirus pandemic, we are under obligation to interrupt our cultural activities and workshops from Tuesday, March 17, 2020 until further notice.

Based on the escalating public health situation in the city, we have decided that the Alliance Française de Karachi, including our reception, will remain closed until further notice.

However, our staff will continue to be available by email or by phone between 10 AM and 6 PM everyday except Sunday. Get in touch.

Our French classes have moved to an online format for both new and current students.

In addition, we are proud to have launched an online store to allow our students to register and pay for their French courses online. Registrations are now open for our next session. Learn more about our classes and browse our online store to register.

Translation services continue to be available. Browse and purchase translation services here.

Some examinations scheduled for June 2020 have been cancelled or postponed. The DELF Junior and Tous Publics exams scheduled for June are canceled; applicants can register for the next sessions coming up in November 2020. The DELF Prim exam is postponed and new dates will be announced shortly.

We hope you understand that the current situation and the risk of the spread of the pandemic compel us to make this decision to remain closed.
