Moving to Egypt

Will the Nile be your lifeline?

Will the Nile be your lifeline?

Egypt has become one of the more popular tourist and expat destinations of the last few years with more and more to attract overseas visitors and those looking to move to Egypt for a new life. As with any move overseas, there are many issues to consider and plans to make before actually moving to Egypt, something which is covered in detail in a thread entitled “Moving in August….advice needed”. The beauty of this particular thread is the simplicity of the questions asked, questions that many people are unsure of but sometimes afraid to ask about.

Background to the thread

In simple terms the thread has been started by a lady who is moving to Cairo in August 2009 where she already has an employer lined up. The lady in question is unsure as to exactly where she will be staying initially, with 6th October (a well-known Egyptian city) and New Cairo mentioned as possible destinations. However, the main reason for the thread is to acclimatise herself with Arabic, travel around Egypt, shopping and potentially making contacts prior to arriving in the country.

Before we look in more detail at the thread we will cover some of the more general points about Egypt which you should be aware of if you are considering moving there.
