Hey All,

We has an option to get transferred to Cairo on work for 2 years.

Is it a good option to evaluate ? Right now the exoticism of Egypt is very alluring, but having never been there before was wondering what life as a local may be like.

Also what would be the monthly living expenses in Cairo is US$ ? For a 2-3 bedroom apartment, general maintenance of apartment (electricity, water, telephone with internet connection) food, car with driver.

Any other points we need to consider before we take the decision ?

Any guidance would be helpful

I did read Jcule's post & all the replies to it which were very insightful, but was also looking for more information on the same.

We need to take a decision by tomorrow as to whether this is worth considering or not & tell the company. a race trip is not looking likely, so hoping to see the city & country through your eyes.
