Hello Lesley and welcome on Expat-blog!

I moved the thread on the Egypt forum. Do you intend to live in Egypt? I hope other members will share their experience with you.

Wish you good luck

To be "in the topic subject" and to answer Lesleya question HOW IT IS TO LIVE IN EGYPT, I could say my opinion.
For me, Egypt was and still it is a challenge!
When I told my colleagues in my country that I would leave for Egypt, and not for a visit, just to live, they consider me little phony saying" How? When all people GO WEST, cause west means civilization, you go in Africa?". Even they didn t give me too many chances knowing I am very sophisticated and very complicated, and I would not accept many rules here.
After the first year I left Egypt, for Europe but I was coming back, cause I feel really well here!
I try to be popular with colleagues and neighbors, and they respect and love me, people in the street are nice and for my way of living, I consider Egypt wonderful.
Most of it I enjoy mild winters, if this season could be called winter here, and fresh fruits that are a source of health.
It is also a saying in my country " MAN SANCTIFIES THE PLACE", so, you can create conditions that you wish and enjoy!
