Egypt has a rich history that makes it one of the most attractive countries to visit in the world. City life is crowded and often chaotic. Education is a life force for Egyptians.
The culture is Arabic and Islamic. There is mostly a liberal religious tolerance and pro-Western feeling among the people you meet. The people are easy to get to know. This is a country where you should look to immerse yourself into local life and that includes spending time in the local coffee shops, rather than Starbucks.
Most teachers work in Cairo or Alexandria, while there are also universities and International schools in other regions, including upper Egypt.
