Helo everyone and welcome to the brand new Egypt Forum on ExpatForum.com

My name is Nick, and I'll be your Mod.

Ironically, I don't live in Egypt and I have only spent 9 days there to date.

However, I am going to be moving there on 31 January in order to start a One-Stop Property Shop for property in Hurghada.

It will be a pretty steep learning curve for me, I think. But I have been living in Eastern Europe for 15 years so am quite used to things working not quite as well as they ideally might be.

So who else here lives in Egypt? Please stand up and be counted!

I know from the TotallyProperty forum that there are not so many British/American expats in Hurghada yet, but numbers look as if they should increase quite rapidly as the property market expands.

Anyone here live in Cairo? As it's one of the world's major connurbations, chances are that someone must do!
