“I wish I had something like this when I first moved here.”

When I left the UK and moved to Egypt over a decade ago, there was no clear guide — just guesswork, trial and error. This resource is the product of 10+ years of real-life experience navigating Egyptian life while rasing a family — from rent contracts to visa renewals, school fees, groceries, and more.

If you’re serious about making the move, this guide will help you do it right, in shaa Allah.
