I visited Egypt in 2019 & stayed in Siwa Oasis. The people were very welcoming. They even encouraged me to move there.
I’d love to go one day. Glad you got to experience Egyptian hospitality.
Thank you. I'm so excited I've had my passport for 2 years but it expired and now I'm getting my new passport and I told someone and he said where you going to go the first place I said is Egypt I want to go to Egypt now I have started the gym I have a new happy I'm going to learn Arabic..geez. Life is Amazing
I wish you hit 1 million ISA soon ❤️❤️
حبيب قلبي ❤️❤️
Thank you soo much for these videos I’m looking to move to Egypt and your videos have been soo helpful jazakallah
Also could you pls do one about the health care system what do you do when you need to go doctors/dentist and expenses ❤️🙏🏽
Wa iyaaki sister and may Allah give you what’s best. I’ll add this to my list and try to put it out ASAP in sha Allah. Might take some time though so please forgive me if it takes a while. Barakallahu feeky.
@@AbuSamraTheExpat Shoukran jazeelan 👌🏽❤️
@@mimilondon3061 I’ve payed cash for all my visits to both doctors and dentists so I’m not sure about healthcare. The prices were affordable enough that i didn’t worry about looking at it or anything. For ex. I think vaneers are $50 per tooth so that should give you an idea on much cheaper things as veneers in the west cost 4 digits per tooth there.
Great video as always and really valuable information 👍💐 waiting for your next video
Thank you brother ✌🏾
I might be moving!!! Had a good job interview - they will make me an offer. So excited! So now looking up, what I need to think about if I were to move there
Ayyy congrats! Hit me up on my socials if you wanna ask about something specific and we can talk.
Guys don’t you worry most of Egyptian understand English especially in areas like new Cairo, madinaty and sheikh zayed they are friendly calm areas high standard
I’m an Egyptian and I got the news that I’m moving to Egypt I’m excited but also scared but ur videos made me less scared thank uu
It can seem a bit daunting but as long as you keep your wits about you, you should be fine. If you have family there it’ll help a lot. Hope it goes well for you!
Welcome to Egypt ❤️
Thanks man ✌🏾
Wow 👏👏👏you hit the nail 🔨on head my brother I really enjoyed this video 👌👌❤️❤️
Glad to hear it!
I needed to hear this, been wanting to move to Middle East but I think I need to learn a little bit more Arabic 🤦🏻♀️
It’s good that you’ve taken the step. Just try not to judge yourself too harshly because you might be better than you think. Keep it up ✌🏾
Sister Arabic isn’t hard to learn. I never thought I would learn Arabic but I picked it up completely in less than a yr of staying in Egypt. It’s not hard at all, especially if you’re planning on moving for the sake of the deen. If not then it’s still worth it
Don’t mind me just commenting for the algorithm
You sir deserve a medal 😂 thanks man!
I really dislike when people in videos say, " without further adoo". Anyway, you offer good advice. I'd like to live in Egypt. I visited there in 2021. I really liked Luxor best.
I’m planning to move to Alexandria in Egypt luckily for me I’m fortunate because I already own a house there because my parents live there but do I need a letter from the job centre to say I can work abroad
I use duolingo but it's so difficult, i love the sound of arabic & the writing looks like art
I use it too 😂 just keep going because it’ll be worth it
THANKKKK YOU!!! Really appreciate this information as I needed it 👌🏿❤️
Al hamdu lilah it was something you needed.
Where is the karate training? Is there any for only women in cairo?
There are clubs in many different party’s of the city. There should also be women only classes too but I’m not sure how easy it is find.
Allahumma baarik brother. What would you advise a sister who wants to move there? I know some sister's do go there to study Arabic in some of the schools. Do you have any advice about Arabic schools in general? And what about schools for children if you move as a family?
Jazak Allah khair
Barakallahu feeky sister. It’s a bit difficult to say tbh. Can I refer you to a sister who can give you a better answer? Let me know in sha Allah.
@@AbuSamraTheExpat I'd be most grateful for that brother. Jazak Allah khair I really appreciate it
Follow this sister on insta @Nesreen_._Ismail she’s an Egyptian sister and her English is really good so she’ll be able to advise you properly in sha Allah.
@@AbuSamraTheExpat barak Allah feeka
I'm a new subscriber, great videos! Keep up the good work
Thank you Milena! Hope you’ll enjoy the content I have coming soon.
@@AbuSamraTheExpat absolutely! I think of moving to Agypt from Germany. Not sure yet if it is a good idea after all. So you are the perfect person to look for, to help me with my desicion. May Allah accept your effort and give you Jannatul Firdaus. 🤲
Ameen Barakallahu feeky!
@@AbuSamraTheExpat dear brother I'm curious to know how it is going there for you with meeting Muslima for marriage? In a non Muslim country it is extremely hard to find a appropriate person to get married to for many reasons. I think in Egypt it is easier or even harder? Sorry if my question is too personal. 😅😊 Looking forward to see and hear more from you! 💕
I know at least 3 people who moved to Egypt from the U.K. and they got married. It’s easier in Egypt since the majority of Egyptians are Muslim but it can also be difficult because of the difference in culture.
I want to move out of the United States to another country. I’m contemplating on either Kenya, Egypt or Barbados
Interesting choices! Refreshing to see someone who wants to experience life in places people don’t normally think of.
United States is great😍
Do it, I am a black American and I move to Egypt in 2021.
@@karen_leen did you move ?
What part of Cairo would you recommend to live in for a few months? I’m familiar with zamalek but it’s a bit crowded, looking for something a little less packed and family friendly.
A lot of other places in Cairo are family friendly like Dokki, Mohandiseen, Heliopolis, Nasr City but they’re also crowded. I’d suggest Sheikh Zayed, New Cairo (fifth settlement) or Rehab. It’s far from the city centre and everywhere else but everything you need is there.
Shorouk, Badr and 6th October
Well articulated mate
Thanks man!
Studio flats are found in compounds
Thanks for the video! Tips on learning Arabic? And how long did it take you?
Immerse yourself in the language and try to use it as frequently as you can. Also expose yourself to it as much as you can. I never took any lessons so it took me 5 years before I felt comfortable using it in all scenarios but if you take lessons it’ll take a lot less time.
How did you learn Arabic😭I’m 18 and I moved to Cairo form London to study and even though area I’m in a lot of the people can speak Arabic it’s always hard yo communicate with people when u go more downtown
In all honesty I just picked up the language as I heard it. I feel you when you say it’s hard to communicate sometimes but try and learn a few words a day. If you have any Egyptian friends try and converse with them as much as you can.
Hey guys I’ll be coming to egypt hopefully, let me know whoever is there we can explore it!
عااااااااااااااااااااااش يا ابو سمرا
شكرا يا أخي ❤️
As salaam alaykom wa rahmaatullah! Good job alhamdulilah. What about Nasr city? I am a foreigner from usa
I have been to Egypt and I do have a few friends there however, I am American and I’m a single mother to a daughter. Is there a reason to be concerned about raising my daughter as a non-religious person in Egypt and how are the women’s rights?
No you don't need to worry about anything related to that. Egyptians understand that Westerners live a different lifestyle and respect the differences. Just don't step on their toes by deliberately doing things that are offensive to them.
I wish you would have made that video some years earlier, bro!
Yeah you’re right bro but at least it’s out now!
@@AbuSamraTheExpat True! I mean before I went 😀😀
@@_Chris__Hirth_ ahh I understand. Well I hope you enjoyed it!
@@AbuSamraTheExpat yes, of course, I did! Have a good time
Hey, I was wondering something I have an algerian nationality do you perhaps know if I can live in Egypt legally with that?
Asalaamu Aleykum brother I’m a mum from London and I want to move to Egypt 🇪🇬 with my 5 children. To teach them Quran and Arabic. Where would be best for us to move to ? In terms of city ? I’ve never been there before .I’ve also just subscribed to your channel! ☺️👍
It depends if u want something like in the center like a bit crowded u can check zamalek,mohandessin,dokki,nasr city if u want something less crowded u can check elsheikh Zayed, 5th settlement, rehab,madinaty and wherever ur going everything will be available around u or ofcourse u can check other cities than cairo😁
@@ahmedmohamed-cd7xf Jazaka’Allahu Khayran for all this info, appreciate it ! 👍
Assalamualaikum mate, i m indonesian and have plan to move to marsa alam egypt very soon. Can you give me some advice about that place please.
I tried looking on Facebook but I get nothing. I'm trying to move to Alexandria Egypt .I will be traveling alone with my 2 girls so I am afraid but want to know the first and foremost thing. I should have my passports. But what should be first? Work or home?
Try and get everything sorted out before you travel to Egypt because it'll make it a lot easier to settle in. If you can secure a job first before moving then it'll be good. Consider getting an AirBnB first and then look for flats. You should be able to find something quickly.
I understand you've moved away from Egypt. Can you reveal where this apartment you were living in is located? I like how it looks with the white walls the cornicing on the ceiling. I wasnt impressed with the apartments I have seen on RUclips very poor fixtures and fittings. I like the classic style apartments that have character that I used to see on Egyptian musalsalat. Where can one look for those?
The ones you’ve seen were probably built some time ago and weren’t maintained properly. The one you see in the video is quite new and has been maintained quite well. You can use apps like olx, aqar map and property finder.
Edit: forgot to mention the area this apartment is in sorry. It’s in Mokattam.
@@AbuSamraTheExpat thanks a lot! Will check those apps out.
Can you please make a video about the rent in dollar not in £££ it getting hard to calculate for more people like us.
I’m looking to make a video on housing in Egypt soon so I’ll be sure quote everything in dollars in sha Allah. Until then, take the prices I mentioned and check them on google.
@@AbuSamraTheExpat ok brother jazakallahu kheyran
There's a very useful app and website called xe.com for all types of currency conversions from many different countries and is updated every single minute.
Where do you find apartments there from the us?
Asalaam bro I'm from hackney london..planning to move to Egypt with family. I'm not sure between shamil sheikh or new chiro, can you recommend which place??? Also I'm doing tefl course but I dont have degree, do you think I can a get a job quick ?? Thanks for your vids 😊✌👊
Wa’alaykum wasalam nice to meet you brother. In terms of job opportunities cairo is the best. New cairo is more on the expensive side. I’ve heard different things about securing jobs without a degree. Some say it’s possible others say it’s not.
nice video
Thanks man and nice to hear from you again ✌🏾
Plan on moving to egypt with a remote job in the US to save $ and to be close to family. I only speak some arabic what is the best way to learn it fast in your opinion. Shukrun habibi.
I’ll be shooting a video on studying Arabic in Egypt and it’ll include tips on learning and getting better but in a nutshell just use every opportunity to communicate with the locals and immerse yourself in the language. Pay close to attention to the locals when they speak. 😁
As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum, I am hoping to make the move to Egypt but wanted to inquire in regards to being a woman - in Egypt. Can you do a video on this? Jzk
I believe there are sisters who have already done videos on moving to Egypt for studies. There’s a sister with a channel that would be very good for you called take eight Egypt vlogs. Type that in and you’ll find the channel in sha Allah.
Hello my friend, i am moving to egypt in the next few days. I have heard their is a good side and a bad side to Egypt. Is this true? That is what i find a little daunting. I am hearing both good things and bad things. Ugh to much youtube lol!
There’s good and bad in every place that you go to, so take everything you read and hear with a pinch of salt. Touristy areas are normally what people complain about but outside of that everything is pretty chilled. Egyptians are very warm, hospitable people and they made my experience very positive. Just keep your wits about you.
@@AbuSamraTheExpat Thank you!
Can you suggest a website to find apartments locally in Cairo? I'm moving soon from the US and so far I'm only finding things on airbnb and they really aren't designed to be long-term. Thank you!!
A video on accommodation should be out this week. Apart from what you’ve mentioned is there anything else you want me to cover?
@@AbuSamraTheExpat thank you so much I'm looking forward to that:) Im really enjoying your videos, keep them coming!! I have lots of questions about the visa process but it's probably different for each nationality. Thanks again!!
Finally put out that video you wanted :)
ruclips.net/video/D86RcDmcifc/видео.html
visas are tricky and I don’t know too much about the process because it was always taken care of for me. Maybe have a search on RUclips?
I saw rent apartment goes for as cheap as 1000 Egyptian a month that’s what less then £20 bargain can anyone confirm this is how much cost?
These are normally in the older areas which means older flats. I heard that you can find flats for 2000/3000 EGP in more modern areas but from my experience they are rare.
How long do you have to live in Egypt to be able to purchase and own property?
As long as you have the money you can purchase property. Many family members and a few colleagues of mine don’t live in Egypt but they’ve bought property.
Salaam Bro,
Just wanted to ask would it be enough for someone to have a TEFL/CELTA/CERTTESOL to teach English in Egypt?
Or would they still need a degree as well even if they are a native speaker?
Wa’alaykum wasalam bro. You need a degree even if you’re a native speaker. With the teaching certificates I’d recommend a CELTA or a Trinity TESOL (CertTESOL) because they’re globally recognised and some places only accept those two certificates but that’s not everywhere in Egypt. If you have a degree and some experience then it should be enough. The certificates are something extra that will help with your application. If you have more questions or you need clarification just hit me up on insta anytime bro and I’ll help you out in sha Allah ✌🏾
@@AbuSamraTheExpat aah Jazakallahu khairan bro, appreciate your reply very much .

Hi, are there any local Arabic tutors you would recommend?
I haven’t worked with any tutors but you’ve got them in abundance so it shouldn’t be too difficult to find them.
How much grocery For weeks
I don’t live in Egypt anymore and prices have gone up tremendously so it’s difficult to say right now.
Thinking to moving to Egypt n need a management job,am a professional in management n economics,how can I get a job
Wuzzuf normally has job openings in Egypt for international companies. You could try on there.
Bro can you give information about government jobs in egypt.
I don’t have any info on that tbh.
Can u tell which job is perfect for an electrical engineer there?
@@islamicspot786 in all honesty I’m not sure. I don’t know many foreigners who are in Egypt for jobs other than teaching, diplomat or working for an embassy.
Well, is egypt really good for permanent settle?
@@islamicspot786 depends on the person. I know people that moved to Egypt and never went back. They’ve been here for 15 years or more, got married and had kids and don’t plan on going back home. Others left after a year/2 years so it really depends on the person.
How long can u stay in eygt
As a tourist you’ve got visas that allow you to stay for a month which you can get on arrival or a 3 month visa which you need to get before traveling. As for a residency visa I’m not too sure.
Do you like El Sawareekh? 💃🕺
Never used one before
@@AbuSamraTheExpat el sawareekh sing ekwarty
Do you know how to write Arabic
Yeah I can read and write.
@@AbuSamraTheExpat that is good 👍🏻
Tip 1 - don't move haha
Hijrah to egypt right now is not a wise idea. Remember the hadeeth about the fall of 4 countries. The Prophet SAW said (paraphrasing) wait until the currency of iraq falls by al-ajam foreign intervention then the fall of the syrian currency then yemen then egypt. Egypt is yet to suffer a disaster - so makes no sense to make hijrah there only to return to the West as refugees.
How exactly fid you get your job out there
I applied from the U.K. on websites after I got the certificates that were needed. After I secured the job I had to sort out my visa with the help of my employer and had to get other documents ready. Once everything was finalised I was on my way.
