Salamo Aleikoum Aisha,
Well, Most of what you're saying about Egypt is true, But you got a too pessimistic Picture though, There is corruption just like anywhere else in the world, maybe it's a little bit more exaggerated there, but at the end of the day, if you landed a good job with a good Salary, You could enjoy your life as much as else where, Coming from a middle class Family, I could tell you these things, I have always loved Egypt but suffered from the lack of organization, Lack of a system and relative Chaos, Things are a little bit dischevelled in cairo but it's still a city with 7000 years of civilization. you'd enjoy it alot, you just have to live in a nice neighbourhood ex: Helipolis, Zamalek, Maadi or new Cairo (Rehab, madinaty, Tagmaa Awel, Tagmaa Khames). I used to live in heliopolis, now my family lives in Tagmaa Awel and I'm working in dubai for a change, The most terrible thing in cairo is landing a good job (with a multi-national company) you'd be satisfied with, I had a failry good life in Egypt, But i couldn't land my dream Job , that's why I left,,so If you could get a decent Job,you'd enjoy the culture for a change and get quite a good experience from living in Cairo, or so I think ,,,
