Is there a demand for Cisco (IT) jobs in Cairo? Who should we contact? What is a good salary to live in Egypt?

I am going to try to answer some of the things that you want, not all , according to what I know. Considering the apartment, you can find as good as what you can afford. Apartments can be very luxurious, and prices can be up to millions. So it very much depends on what you want to pay. There are many good places ; like Maadi, Garden city, Kornish El Nil.It depends on where you are going to work. You don't want to live far from your workplace and have to commute everyday in a CROWDED city like Cairo. Your husband's cerificates are fine , but without experience and creativity he won't go any where.There are many people who have the same certificates, what is going to stand him out is his ability to present something new, but there are places that will sure be willing to give him a chance. Cars are available in Egypt. They are very expensive. More expensive than what they are in America. You should try to bring your own car. You are going to pay a lot in customs but it is going to be worth it.You should try to ask about how much money you are going to pay. It depends on the year of making and the model. There is a newspaper that offers a free service in telling people how much they will pay in customs "www.alahram.org" The only good thing about buying cars here in Egypt is that you don't have to bargain with the car dealer, unlike what you have to do with everything else. The prices are fixed and you won't be fooled. As for the average salary , you can live well on 2000 Egyptian pounds. One dollar equals 5.73. Egyptian pounds. Ofcourse you have to be wise about it , but this amount of money will do."You may want to check again on this part because I don't live in Cairo. I live in another city. An estimate given by one of the Cairians will be better". As for the language part. You didn't mention if you were a native speaker.If you speak fluently as you say "with no foreign accent " you can get a job in teaching in any of the International Language schools. They would be happy to hire you and you don't have to have teaching certificates because they appreciate the existence of foreigners in teaching language. Have fun and feel free to ask more. P.S "Give the question some time to be answered . Like a few days. There are very good people here who will answer your question , even better than what I did , but we are few . If you give them some time you will have plenty of answers in 2 or 3 days the most.

there IS a demand for Cisco.. don't worry! and the language skills will help u a lot too.. average sallary i think would be around 2000 .. but u wont lead a luxurious life or anything! this will get u by! Garden City is nice, but parking there is a nightmare! there's absolutely no place to park ur car!!! other nice places would be zamalek and maadi.. plenty of foreigners, nice nile view, lots of good coffee shops..
