Hi everyone, Just been offered a job in Cairo for EGP 10k a month, which I believe works out to under £500. Is this enough to have a decent life as a single in Cairo? The package does not include rent which is my biggest worry, as after having ...

Dating and finding love as an expat in Egypt by Priscilla
Hello, With cultural barriers and different dating norms, finding love as an expat abroad can be exciting and challenging at the same time. Is it easy to meet other fellow single people in Egypt? How do you go about meeting people (through ...
