Living in Egypt

If you start a new life in Egypt you will find a huge contrast, especially in cities like Cairo, where car horns will put you in the picture and the loudspeakers of its thousand minarets proclaim both the hectic present and the contemplative past. There are many modern highways, skyscrapers, a subway system, hotels, restaurants, advertising and western clothing blend together with ancient ruins coming from the periods of the pharaohs, Islamic mosques, Coptic churches, Middle Eastern garb, bazaars and the odour of cattle in a unique mosaic of life in modern Egypt. You may even witness a caravan of farmers, donkeys and camels making a right turn on a principal Cairo avenue.

Living in Egypt

Life in modern Egypt is no longer seen as one with the old traditions, finding public and private transportation, television, American style food, sports, music, arts, cinema and theatre being these proofs of a healthy modern economy. When it comes to education, we have to say that, in Egypt, it is free by law, and there is a wide range of public and private universities to choose from. Not everything is good here so, on the negative side, there's overpopulation, pollution and a great gap between the wealthy and the poor. As for the rest of the country, life in modern Egypt for the fellahin is similar to their ancient Egyptian or early Arab settlers’ ancestors. They inhabit the rural villages along the Nile, living in mud brick houses or goatskin tents, and tilling the soil with the same tools used in the times of the pharaohs. These people work their small plots of land and keep livestock. The men wear a long flowing robe and many women wear the veil. The women also wear silver and gold jewellery, necklaces, and bracelets on their wrists and ankles. This is not vanity, however, but the dowry a husband must pay for the right to marry her. Since divorce can be done quickly under Islamic law, women keep jewellery as a form of economic security
