I have been to Cairo a couple of times and spent my time in Dokki and Mohanessin. Are these good central places to live? Can you recommend anywhere else.
What is the average rental for an appartment per month?
What is the social life and security like in Cairo?
What is the average cost of living?
What is the average wage for westerners?
I was planning on coming to Egypt to teach english as a second language but would prefer to work in an office environment. How hard is it to get a job once arriving in Egypt?
Any tips or advice anyone can provide is greatly appreciated.
I hope to meet some great ppl and start an amazing new chapter in my life.
Cheers
