I'm not surprised by this story at all. welcome to the world of "Egyptian men". dump him like the piece of trash that he is. he's a liar, he's probably still married to her Islamically and that's why it was legal for him to ... Read More

this is the same thing that happens in London, NYC, Paris, Cairo, etc... it's the nature of the best called "capital city". it's unfortunate but it comes with the territory. You have to be ready for these things when you go to a large city anywhere. ... Read More

Possible move to New Cairo by Scotlass

My husband has an interview for a job in New Cairo this week. After seeing and reading the news I would like advice from people who actually live in the city on whether it would be a dangerous place for us to move to? I currently live in Bangkok ...

Mimi

you may want to go and check it out for yourself for a few weeks. It's not safe in many areas so you need to be very careful as to where you choose to live. Don't believe everything you hear as you will need to make your own assessment as to how ... Read More

Looking for an apartment URGENTLY PLEASE! by mydream

Hi, I don't know if anyone can help me but I am desperately looking for a 2 or 3 bedroomed apartment , with an elevator and balcony in a nice, safe area of Cairo. It does not have to be an expat area but nice and safe. I can afford to pay around ...

Mimi

you're price range is way too low for a safe place in cairo. you need to look into the 5th district, El Rehab or Madinaty which the price range is 4000 LE per month to as high as 10000 LE per month. Maadi is also very safe but also very expensive. ... Read More
