So confusing. I was reading the post on how Egyptians are discriminated against and how foreigners are welcomed...I have an Egyptian and a British passport, if I was moving to Egypt and getting a job would I be better off using my British one? And if I did that would I have to have a visa because wouldn't they be suspicious if I was living in Egypt with an British passport and no visa?
So basically would I be better off just using my British passport for everything?

Suzy.... if you've got an Egyptian passport and you want to work in Egypt, you'd be much better to use it!!! Foreigners need work permission to work here... most employers don't like to take foreigners because work permission is too expensive to obtain!!! Stick with the Egyptian!!!

1- if you just fly to Egypt and look for a local job, then use your Egyptian passport and like this you will get a local salary and no benifits..
2- If you are looking for a job in an international body, YOU better use your foreign passport, otherwise you will be treated as a local staff and earn only 120 pounds a month..
You should know what kind of job you are applying to and use this or that passport accordingly..
The only benifit you can have from the Egyptian passport is to pay one pound when you want to visit the pyramids instead of 40..
Good luck

It depends also on the conventions signed between the two states. For example, i've got a Jordanian nationality and a french one. I drived in France with my Jordanian international driving license... I got caught for a speed excess and for disrespecting a stop, and i had one accident, all of these located on the french territory. Each time i got away without a fine, but i didn't get any mention on my license. This maybe because the cops were not very used to handle those weird licences, and because i bullsh*tted them hard. So yes, it's linked to the individual.

The other car owner even tried to sue me, because my friend broke her window ( she was responsible for the accident ) But she had nothing against me, my friend went to court. I haven't been to the trial, but it was really funny, she was crying before her broken window. My sadistic side had a lot of fun.

It's a girl i met in a club. She had an appartement so i could sleep for free and use the washing machine. I washed a lot of clothes, she had a very resisting washing machine as soon as you put some washing powder in it. My friend, he's a retailer in a grocery so he gave me everything i needed. She's the kind of girl working for airplane ticketing. She told me in the past she was in short of money she had to pute her efforts in collecting money. Then she wanted to drive my car, i told her to get a licence. She got her licence and it was all good. But i didn't let her drive, all the time i was driving, sometimes really fast like hitting the road. Then one day my friend comes by in the appartement and he finds out she had a debt to him. So i tell her it's better to pay and my friend gets payed. One day, we go to my friend's grocery, and she insists for a credit. But my friend tells her: beware, i need the cash this time. My friend asks me for the girls cash, but i say it's not my problem, all i want is the appartement, the washing machine, and the aspiratory, i don't care the girl. So one day, the girl comes by in another appartement i was with my friend. He asks for his cash but she has not. So he goes on the parking and breaks the window of the girl's car. She feels trapped and cries and shouts and call the cops. My friend freaks out, i was laughing and i'm still laughing even if i feel some guilt.

Haven't time to read all the posts but just wanted to say this:
When I went to Egypt last year with my British passport I was kept waiting by the side of the queue (with tourists staring on like I was a threat to the airport) along with two other Egyptian/British lads. We stayed like that for half an hour. I felt sick. I forgot my ID card which i should have shown them along with passport. I hate the so-called Bereaucracy in Egypt, hate it!!!!
