I am relocating with my job to Cairo in less than 3 weeks and am thinking it will be too much of a hassle to relocate my chattels (based on some of the stories I have read). Plus it seems that most apartments come fully furnished anyway.
I was just wondering...for those of you who have relocated to Egypt, what do you strongly recommend bringing, wish you had brought along with you or have with you that you are glad you took.
Thanks for any feedback!!!
