Egypt
What is life like as an expat in your area?
When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...
"New Cairo City is still in its developmental stage. Since I've been here (the first one on my block; not even a paved street) slowly stores are being added and public transportation. I would like to know if there are other Americans in this area, and what they are doing. I'm interested in fitness and seeing things the ordinary tourists do not see. Also bargain hunting for household items," said another expat in New Cairo City, Egypt.
"In Egypt, Family is number one but going for coffee is right up there as well. Going to the mall (Carfor) seems to be a big deal here," wrote a member who made the move to Alexandria, Egypt.
