If you have a skill that an Egyptian doesn´t have then you can get a permit, a waiter etc cant.. I must be extra special as my boss is asking me to return.. there will be no problems with my visa

Then being extra special must mean extra special wages.....set by you.....and must be non negotiable.....but really don't think you will give up your new life even if the price is right.

Simply sell your house in the UK and put your money into a higher rate certificate of deposit which can go up to 10.9% interest, just make sure you get your interest monthly or every quarter and not at the end of a 5 year pay out.. no need to work..or renew..job done you can get up when you want

Uh, 10.9% is lower than the rate of inflation, not to mention the Egyptian pound is dropping like a stone.

and not everybody wants not to work, I'd go crazy if I didn't work. There's only so much stuff you can do!
