Not exactly or only to study, as today most egyptian teachers travel all around the world, but to feel the essence of the dance and how egyptians react to it.
This means, walk at the roads, go out to night clubs, listen the music in the cars, people singing in the road, everything is total different.

You are SO correct, Maria Aya!!!!!!!!!! That is my advice too! Even a short stay will help you get a sense of the essence of the culture which is in the essence of the dance - as long as you spend time out on the streets, in the shops, taxis, and really listening to and watching what is going on around you with an open mind. Then, make an effort to see as many performances by professional dancers as you can in the time and budget that you have. You will learn much more than you expect by doing these things in addition to taking lessons with Egyptian teachers.
