Is the cost of living in Egypt high?

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Egypt, they wrote:

"The cost of living in Egypt is generally quite affordable. Prices for basic necessities such as food, transportation, and housing are generally lower than in many other countries. However, the cost of living can vary significantly depending on the city and lifestyle. For example, living in Cairo is more expensive than living in smaller cities. Additionally, the cost of living can be higher for those who prefer a more luxurious lifestyle," said one expat in Egypt.
