[QUOTE]Originally posted by newcomer: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by ajay: [qb] I have been offered a very good position with a major telecoms company in cairo, simply they want me to set up a new division for North Africa and are paying me what I believe to be an excellent salary and package - thats why I am on here to see if the package they have offered is good as I dont know the cost of living in Cairo. They have put a final offer as follows: Monthly salary 40,000 egyption pounds per month Rent Allowance 14,000 egyption pounds per month School Allowance 90,000 egyption pounds per year Car Allowance 30,0000 egyption pounds per year Plus an anual bonus, health cover, life insurance, pension and four tickets to the UK or Dubai for me and the family every year. I have been told this is an amazing package but again excuse my ignorance because I have no idea what kind of standard of life I can expect in Cairo for that kind of money. I am coming over in two weeks to have a look at some villa's and schools and make a decision. [/qb][/QUOTE]Put it this way, a good salary for an Egytpian or even a normal ex-pat who has been employed in country is 2,000 - 5,000 LE. They probably couldn't afford to send their kids to the best private schools, but they could live in a good area, have a good social life, and also do some travelling. We used to have a single ex-pat American who said that she spent 6,000LE a month, but that seemed to cover a busy western style social life, frequenting ex-pat haunts. This perhaps explains why not many people are giving you too much feedback when you keep on talking about these type of figures! [/QB][/QUOTE]
