Hi, Nasiya
I`m afraid I don`t have an answer to your question - I won`t arrive in Egypt until August. BUT I definitely have the same concerns - if you have found anything out since you posted your question in April, I`d really appreciate it if you could pass it along.
Thanks

I did get some needed information from that thread. I'm also wondering what items like a TV, printer for my laptop, or DVD machine would cost? The biggest questions right now for me all revolve around deciding what items I should bring with me and what ones it would make sense to just buy in Cairo.
Thanks for taking the time to help me out,

Hi, Regarding electric equipment etc... buy here, dont bring it with you.
Depending where you buy, prices differ... if you buy at one of the big hyper markets, your looking at around 1500 egp upwards, DVD's start from around 300 EGP, printers start from 250 egp upwards.
There are other shops, local to egpyt, Omr Fenddi (i think thats how its spelt) and Tawheed El Noor which sell things cheaper than the hyper markets. For a double bed and mattress at Tawheed, you can pay from 650 EGP to around 1000 EGP.
Electrical goods are available everywhere.

What I did bring with me was a cheap hair dryer from UK, food mixer, and small cd player, These are cheaper in the UK and you can manage to put them in your luggage.

I live in Cairo so have access to most things... if your moving to a Red Sea area, your more limited so i guess they charge more.

Thanks, Malak. Seems I can depend on buying most of this when I get to Cairo - yahoo! less to try and pack.

Hi Ladies:

Iam new here, I can tell you that prices in Egypt is expensive comparing to Egyptians salaries ,but comparing to other countries it is ok, best prices you can find in Carrfoure Stores, if you can ship any thing with you from your country if you already have will be better.

Have a good day
