"When moving to Cairo, it is important to pack clothing that is appropriate for the climate. Lightweight, breathable fabrics such as cotton and linen are ideal for the hot and humid weather. It is also important to bring a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. Additionally, it is recommended to bring a few items of warmer clothing for the cooler winter months. It is also important to bring any necessary medications, as well as a first aid kit. Finally, it is important to bring any necessary documents such as a passport, visa, and other important paperwork," explained one expat living in Cairo, Egypt.
