To open a bank account as an expat you should have a valid residency visa for minimum 6 month. Some banks as HSBC, if you open a bank account for the first time with them, will ask for some data about your previous bank accounts as i remember.

Egypt's banking system today
is modern and regulated
according to internationally
accepted standards. Online and telephone banking are
becoming increasingly popular, and the use of credit, debit and cash cards is widespread throughout Egypt.

A number of Egyptian banks offer a range of retail, commercial and even Islamic banking services, which operate according to Sharia rules. Bank branches are plentiful in Egyptian cities and towns, with new branches opening regularly. Banks offer multi- lingual services, such as counter services and internet banking, and customers of
international and national
banks have the option of
receiving bank statements and bank correspondence in either Arabic or English.
