According to that article, it sounds that they are referring to people that are being paid 'less' than Egyptians. If thats the case, it sounds like they are referring to a particular group of perhaps more blue collar workers? Most of the jobs ... Read More

I just accepted a teaching job at an international school in Cairo. I am a single parent, with a son, and I'm wondering how I will be seen by people in Cairo. I understand that everybody's different and that some will accept me and some won't, but ...

Not to be a broken record, but yeah, have an Egyptian friend negotiate the deal for you. However, if you are a single female, it can be hard to find a place for 'liability reasons' ie, they're afraid you will have men over all the time. Some folks ... Read More
