Move to Cairo ?
Hi jaime,
It's hard to say what the expenses would be because it depends where you want to live and how much money you have to spend.
Electric is high in the summer and low in the winter. lol
Water is low, telephone is low and depends on if you use a land line which is free for internet...just the telephone call charges or you want dsl.
The whole country is inexpensive compared to the western world.
The people are wonderful, it's a dirty city and overcrowded but it is such an adventure, I would so go for it. It will be an experience you'll never forget. The history is amazing
There is so much to do and see.
Having a car with a driver is a great option, makes life a lot easier. Driver's run around 800 to 1000 LE per month, then the cost of renting a car. Last I checked, cars for the month can be between 3000 to 4500 LE per month.
Food budget again, depends on if you have kids, the kind of food you like, buying imported stuff or not. Without imported foods, food is cheap and the vegetables are to die for. Talk about fresh..
Just come with an open mind and acceptance and you'll love it.
I came from the states 19 years ago and never regretted it.
