Who's Living in Egypt?

[Nick Pendrell]

Helo everyone and welcome to the brand new Egypt Forum on ExpatForum.com

My name is Nick, and I'll be your Mod.

Ironically, I don't live in Egypt and I have only spent 9 days there to date.

However, I am going to be moving there on 31 January in order to start a One-Stop Property Shop for property in Hurghada.

It will be a pretty steep learning curve for me, I think. But I have been living in Eastern Europe for 15 years so am quite used to things working not quite as well as they ideally might be.

So who else here lives in Egypt? Please stand up and be counted!

I know from the TotallyProperty forum that there are not so many British/American expats in Hurghada yet, but numbers look as if they should increase quite rapidly as the property market expands.

Anyone here live in Cairo? As it's one of the world's major connurbations, chances are that someone must do!

Hi Nick;
I've joined this forum. I live in Cairo. I don't know of any expats living in Hughada but I do know of a lot of expats & Egyptians who visit there. I think you will find a lot of Egyptians interested in buying villas off you. If you are making them from scratch that is ... HTH

Hi Nick,

I am living in Cairo at the moment but will hopefully be moving to El Gouna in May - if the sale goes through!!!

I lived in Hurghada for 4 years.... I worked as a scuba diving instructor. I'm originally from the UK, but have been living in the USA for the last 2 years.
There are some British expats living in Hurghada.... I know a lot of them..... most of them work in diving.
I've heard Egypt has changed the visa laws now..... I'm not sure how it will affect expats !!!

Hi all, my moving date is 08 Jan 2010. Still looking to sort a job out to come to but hopefully if that doesn't work out, I will find something when I get there within a month or two. Hope to make some expat friends off here!!!
