I am coming to Alexandria ( from Greece) next week for 1-5 years.Thanks to this forum I have had all the information I need about costs of living , dress code, habits even the Egyptian bridegrooms!!!! Unfortunately I have deep concerns about the way of life and how my kids ( 14-11 ) will adjust to a completely new world for them.I would like to hear if someone faced this problem and how he/she managed to solve it.Your experience could be valuable to me . I am an adjustable person and I think I will like Egypt Thanks

Don't worry. Just come as yourself and don't change a thing. There are many similarities between the Greek and the Egyptian cultures, even the food. You will also encounter large number of Greeks in Alexandria. Best of luck, and welcome to Egypt.

Alexandria had been choicest since about 3 years ago as most beautiful city in all Arab countries when great Alexander built it he wanted to built city more beautiful than Rome during this time some Italian tourists i guided them in Alex where telling me that some places looks like south of Italy here some Italian schools,Greek clubs i do not think that you will feel boring may not every thing is excellent or may you do not going to like every thing but at same time you will like many things and do not be worry about children this is their chance to learn about other cultures my advice for you that modest in clothes so important you will live in Muslim country most women will be in veil just showing their faces so covering hands and wide pantaloons would do the work i am Alexandrian till bone all my life here and if you like to have Egyptian female friend i welcome be your friend just e mail me http://soha.egypt.tripod.com
