Hello.My family is moving to Eygt soon,and I would really appreciate any suggestions for good schools to send my children to,they are aged 3yrs and 7 yrs.We will be living in Hurghada,and we would like a school where English is the main language taught,but I would love for the kids to learn Arabic too.Someone told me about the"British International School in EL GOUNA"is this school also referred to as "The International School in El Gouna?" and "THE ST Joseph School" .Thank you.

hi booknut,
the school in el gouna www.elgounaschool.com is the only international school around..... their teaching language is english, but there is french, german or arabic possible as second language visit the website for the fees and the admission stuff required..
st. joseph is near the airport, but they are not an international school. i don't know if they have a website.... their main teaching language is arabic and they are following the egyptian system......which is getting difficult if your kids want to study later in europe....
there is a new french school now in hurghada, but i don't know much about it - if you want i can try to find out......
hope that helps!!!

Please just cover your breasts and don't trot around in a thong.
For clothes, Cairo might the nearest shopping venue. Otherwise Dubai trip once a year might help keep you up to date fashionwise.

Depends if you are married to an Egyptian or not - if so then you need to wear modest clothing.
Hurghada is a touristic town (in meaning its not a typical Egyptian city) and has seen almost everything - well you'll know what I mean upon arrival.

Thank you for your responses.I have another question.I am a black woman from the caribbean and my husband is English,all my friends said that the children and I,since they are of a mixed race will have problems there,do you think I should be concerned about that?
