Moving to Egypt | Emigrating to Egypt
Moving to Egypt: Egypt is not just an extremely popular holiday destination for tourists, it is a country that more and more expats from around the world are moving to. The country has many aspects that make it an interesting place to move to. Some of which are the mild climate, the impressive culture, the outstanding cuisine, the relatively moderate cost of living and the incredibly friendly, extroverted and open people. These are some of the reasons why an ever-growing number of Swiss people are relocating their lives to Egypt.
Although the cost of living in Egypt is much lower than in Switzerland, it is not as low as some people expect. Nevertheless, those who relocate to Egypt can definitely expect to live on relatively modest living costs.
Among other reasons, this is one of the most important factors why so many expats move to Egypt. Egypt is an enjoyable country to retire in and is a place where you can live a relatively luxurious lifestyle if you are financially secure.

Working in Egypt
If you want to work in Egypt then you need a work permit, the organisation of which is mostly taken over by the employer. The prerequisite for most jobs is a pronounced language proficiency in English, although of course, being able to speak Egyptian Arabic is also very welcome and offers an advantage when looking for a job.
Due to the fact that tourism in Egypt is so important, it is relatively simple to find suitable employment in that field. It can also be useful to be able to speak German and it is actually particularly wanted by some employers.
Of course, knowing other foreign languages is also an advantage in this area as there are numerous international corporations being represented in Egypt and thus potential employers. They usually pay significantly higher wages than domestic companies.
Health & Education
Expats who decide to move to Egypt should definitely take out private health insurance as it will allow access to private medical facilities. The state health care system in Egypt can not be compared to that in Western Europe and so you should not rely on it.
Regarding education, there are many international schools in Egypt that expats like to send their children to. There are also many private universities that can be recommended as well.
The education system is generally very dependent on the institutions, which is why private institutions, ideally in an international setting, are most suitable for expats.
Language
Anyone who moves to Egypt should definitely learn Egyptian Arabic as it helps enormously when communicating with the locals, in professional life and when it comes to dealing with the authorities.

Climate
Since most of the country is covered by desert, it is accordingly a very dry climate, with mild winters and hot summers. This is very attractive to many expats and is one of the reasons why many moved to Egypt. They enjoy warm temperatures and long annual hours of sunshine.
