What do I need to know before moving to Egypt?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Egypt, they said...
"Egypt is a culturally rich and diverse country with a long and fascinating history. It is important for expats to research the local customs and culture before moving to Egypt. Expats should also be aware of the political situation in the country and the potential security risks. Additionally, expats should familiarize themselves with the local language, as English is not widely spoken. It is also important to research the cost of living in Egypt and the availability of housing. Finally, expats should make sure to obtain the necessary visas and permits before moving to Egypt," remarked another expat in Egypt.
