Good social life, but unless you go to an expat club it's difficult to go out on your own.
Westerners tend to be paid more than locals, but its not a great wage, friend of mine was a secretary at a school and was on 3000 LE a month, she had to supplement this by teaching english privately.
Average cost of living depends on how you want to live, I have a great expat package and I use it all!
