say hello to my little friend.

Everywhere we went, there were armies of white-clothed tourist police and undercover
policemen armed with assorted automatic weapons. Yep, they have an entire ARMY of men
dedicated to our safety and well-being.

Didn't stop us from getting ripped off though.

85 million people live in an area slightly smaller than Switzerland.

See that sliver of green in the middle? That's the Nile. 99% of all Egyptians live in that thin

The main thing - traffic.

The second time we visited Egypt, our family friends told us that the traffic in Cairo is

Not all camels and pyramids

As you may have guessed, this is a bit tongue-in-cheek. But for a developing country in
Africa and the Middle East, you might be surprised if you come to Egypt without any prior
knowledge.

World’s oldest melting pot:

For a country that has been around for at least the last 5,000 years, this should not come as

Romans, Persians, Arabs, Ottomans, French, and the British Empire.

Everything is here:

How do you invest as an expat if you do not know where you will eventually

investments. Sure, some things make a difference. For example, if you live in US as an expat,
there are tax implications. But in general, there are loads of expat focused accounts, which
