We are going out in june to finalise our house hunting plans, once sorted my husband will be scouting the diving businessess to see if he can get a job when we finally move. Is there anything else important we need to know about buying in egypt?
Thanks everyone
Hi there,

Yes, your UK appliances will work fine here as we are on the same voltage more or less, but you will have to buy 2 pin adapters which you can buy very cheaply in Egypt. We have been doing this for 2 years now with no problems.

Check out how much duty you will have to pay on goods you import to Egypt.

cheers,
Margret
