After almost 2 years living and working in Sharm el Sheikh the time has come for me to move on to the next chapter of my life - Cairo. Currently have very mixed feelings as Cairo is very different to Sharm, also I will be leaving the many amazing friends I have met here. Still its not far away and traveling between the two is easy. Better to try new things and fail then to regret not even giving it a chance.

So I am trying to search for work in Cairo. Can anyone give me any websites or any advice about job hunting in Cairo. I have been searching but maybe I am not looking in the right places. I would like to carry on my career as guest relation/customer service in a hotel but I am open to other suggestions.

Also any tips from other expats about living in Cairo would be greatly appreciated. It will be a completely different life style to what I am used to, but "We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the life that is waiting for us"

Thanks you

Thanks Don Moe, I will try those websites. Hopefully I will find something soon. Its gonna be hard to adjust to life in Cairo so I want to find a job to keep me busy and so I can sort out a routine for my new life.

Thanks again
