Cairo

I do not recommend Cairo. The City is dirty and noisy without any liveable areas. Walkability is very bad, even in new Cairo you can not walk anywhere. You must drive. The traffic is dangerous and hectic. If you walk with your dog you will constantly get attacked by big packs of streetdogs. The Airquality is bad. The food is okay as long as you know what you are ordering. Restaurants often dont use picutres in the menu. The Wifi is the worst I have ever experienced, its quite expensive and does not work sometimes you have no reception in the middle of the city. Housing is quite expensive for what you get, if you want to live the best area be ready to pay. If you want to visit the pyramides its okay for few days but to live there longer no Way. The people are mostly friendly and helpful but rarely speak english and I wouldnt trust noone.

I lived in Cairo for one month. The city has some problems with the traffic and poverty. But, the people, are the best that I ever meet (not the sellers). The food is amazing, everything is cheap. the uber is almost for free. The internet have some problems, but it'll depend of the area that you'll live. a lot of people speak English, even the apps have the option to read in English. The city is very safe, even for womans at 2AM on the street.

Never, never, and never believe in any seller or anyone that is trying to sell something to you. 95% of the sellers will try to scam you, so be smart with it. Accept the reality of the country and you'll have a lot of fun!
It's a nice place. But the caos and the scams destroy everything. It's nice to live a while, but you'll need a huge amount of patient.

I stayed in Cairo for a week as a solo female (21 years old). I was followed a lot and cat-called / asked for a 'view' or a kiss every 5 minutes even though I was completely covered up, so this is definitely not a place for the faint hearted. It was never with malicious intent though (no one forced themselves on me or even tried to mug me), the culture is just very different than western culture. Whilst they're pushy, they won't do anything unless you let them. It took a couple of days for me to understand that. Other than that, the internet is relatively slow but still consistent, and the majority of people speak a least a little bit of English. The air is very unhealthy and the roads take a while to get used to too!

I ve lived in Cairo now for 3 years, unfortunately its very difficult to find work online here if you dont speak Arabic, I signed up to many site who immedately refused me/offered me work in Arabic despite I selected I speak only English/or there was never any tasks viewable due to my location. The internet is improving but no where near to western standards, VPNs can be blocked with the government employing deep packet spying methods and throttling the connection. Life can be cheap but the quality is very bad, since the devaluation of the currency anything of decent international standards is twice of what it costs outside of Egypt.
Life for single females can be daunting and research into local culture must be done as to not attract unwanted attention simply by being friendly with the opposite sex unfortunately. Local shops will try to rip you off as a foreigner so stick to malls and supermarkets with barcodes and displayed prices. The lack of open spaces, health & safety and decent trustable health care are things to consider before moving here, as are traffic and nightmare road conditions. Unless you have a substantial budget to live in a modern compound bubble-type community then life can become depression and dull due to lack of decent well priced faciltities, over crowding, rubbish, pollution and poverty. Its great for a hit and run trip to do the tourist things, but long term you need something that makes it worth being here.

stayed in giza for 10 days. internet was inconsistent. very cheap here but the locals are constantly trying to screw your over for money
