I am an English teacher, and Im moving to Hurghada in August. I'm interested in finding a work there. I'd love to be a teacher still, but I can work as a translator or in some hotels. If You have any suggestions or propositions I'll be really grateful.I speak English fluently, I spent some time in Great Britain studing English, and I know some German too. I'm looking forward to hearing from You. Greeetings for all working and living and loving in Egypt:) Aga

Aga... to be employed in the schools, you'll need more than a one-month tourist visa... I'd check out the visa situation first,,, as, at the moment, they're not keen on giving more than 3 months to Eastern Europeans.. the system sucks, but it's still the system here!! If you can overcome this, the schools in Hurghada are... St Josephs, Rajac, (but be careful with then!!) El Gouna, (considered the best) and there is a new French school opening. Busy Bees in Mashrabeya Street has now also evolved from an English nursery to a primary school. I wish you the best of luck!!!

Samia, thank You for the quick and really optimistic answer:)It is nice to hear that there is sth in Hurghada or around connected with teaching English..and teaching small children is really good idea, I am doing it in Poland at the moment also. I am moving to Hurghada in August, what means I am going to live there some longer time:)(If You know what I mean:))Love made me to change my living in Poland for life in Egypt:))Thank You again, I wish You good luck too. Do You know if I should do all on place, I mean after coming, or maybe send some CV to this school You mentioned now ..Could I have any suggestion from You please...Thanks again Aga

Hi Aga,
Mrs. Sue on Mobile No; 0103904691 is the person you need to talk to at Busy Bees Nursery. They are actually looking for English speaking staff at the moment.
Samia - see you tomorrow night.

Try the Polish forum for Hurghada to inquire information. You might not find immediately work as an English teacher but probably something in the tourism business. Good luck with your move, settling down, making friends and love.....

Thank you very much for such an optimistic information. My man will call this nursery, and I hope it will work. Chears, Aga
Ps. If U know something someday, could U please give me any information?thank U and have a nice time

Thank U too Egyptlily:)I was searching on the Polish forum U are talking about, but really it isnt that optimistic as this site. Even reading about feelings and love between Europeans and Egyptians can make all feel really really awful:) Greetings to U and have fun:)

Aga...it's almost impossible to send post to Egypt.... nobody actually has an address!! I've lived here over 3 years and have never recieved mail, due to the fact that most streets in Hurghada don't even have a name!! You COULD try.. Busy Bees Nursery and school Mashrabeya Street Sekkala Hurghada
Or...phone them, or maybe they've got a website with an e-mail link! But...your English must be excellent, as I believe they normally use only English staff!! But.... best of luck, let us know how you get on!

yea.. what is it with no addresses? when i left egypt i asked for an address so i could send some arsenal kits out... they kinda looked at eachother and said... "where would we pick them up from... a post place? maybe the airport" i just laughed... silly me... of course an address is just toooo much to expect!!!!

Hey Aga.... I did the same almost 4 years ago.... and... although life isn't always easy.... definitely not one long holiday as people imagine... Egypt is still the place where I want to be most!!! I had a 3-month "reality check" back in London recently... and I couldn't wait toget "home" to Egypt!! Just take my advice....don't close all the doors behind you, and make sure you've got an 'escape route' to Poland if you need one!! Have you applied to Busy bees yet? Best of luck, girl!!!

aha..Samia..My boyfriend called this nursery, and they said to him that I must come, and then give them my CV, and have interview...and as U and some people said it would b better and easier to organize all after coming.So I will first go to Cairo for one month and then I'll move to Hurghada and I will start doing all to have 'my'teacher's work:)I heard that in Cairo it may b easier with such a work, but we decided to live in Hurghada. Something must happen, and I am open for all what is unknown:)I believe in cause and effect, and nothing is happening by coincidence..so...let it b:)))kisses and greetings

Hey AgA ...i think it's better that u decided to live in Hurghada ...Cairo is very stressfull especiall if u will cum directly to work not for pleasure ...Cairo is GREAT for a one or 2 week tour ...but once u get out from the tourist coat its much much different ...as any other country offcours ...but here the reality bites harder

...well well...I feel fresh today, let it b like that all the time:)but fresh does not mean no different feelings and considering my decidion...considering but being sure I want to do it anyway:)crazy Aga I am, aren't I.:)some hours ago my parents went to Hurghada for 2-week holidays...they are in love with Egypt, it is their 6th time there...also crazy for some people knowing from TV that Egypt is full of war, soldiers and bombs everywhere. :)what is nice that they really understand my admiring over this country..sure not country only but its boy (my boy) especially:)what makes me feel a bit scary it is the culture differences in some fields of course and if I can cope with all this...but at the same time I see these culture distinction also here in Poland..so...I am so anxious and impatient now...I am counting my days and I am partly already on Hurghada's beach and I see these noisy streets ...and ...lack of words:))) ps.

Hi Aga,
I thought you might have a look at this site as you are going to live in Hurgada ,that might be very helpful for you or give u a cold shower,anyway worth to read and make your own opinion.
It's russian site but also you will find posts in english
Aga Member # 11058

Hallo my friend:), thanks for suggestion, sure I know this site U told me to visit, and so many other, but i think the best way to get a cold shower will b going to Egypt, live there and then give the opinion. I am going in one week, I am expecting to have a great time there, I now that it will b also hard time for me, because I will change my place, I will leave my work, my friends and family so the missing days naturally will come, but it is always while changing Ur life place, isnt it.Sure...I got a chance from life to change something and even I can get a kick in my a...I wanna do it and try the taste of a real Egyptian culture, not only the taste of some people that only visited Egypt or had bad experience..it is not the way I see life ....I will never know till I dont try it all by myself. Anyway greetings and kisses from Poland.

Hey Aga, I used to live in Cairo for 2 years and i have very good memories from my staying.I also met there friends for a live time although i never involved into relationship with egyptian guy. What i am saying is that you can have great time in Egypt depends on what purpose u r going there and what r ur expectations. But i agree with you that " u will never find out what's there until u try it"
If you didnt notice I am also from Poland

hej hej my Polish friend, sure I have noticed that U are my Polish freind:)I am going to my boyfreind that will become my hubby:)My expectations?I just want to live happy with my man, and be in a hot Hurghada, and work there and have a crazy, adventurous change, I want to try sth new, and see how it is to live in a new country. I treat it all like a big advanture, the advanture of my life. I am open to try it, even some people say to me not to do this. I dont wanna to break all I have now just because of peoples opinion, some of them got kicks and finished unhappy in Egypt, but there a bunch of lucky people enjoying their life in Egypt, alone, with friends or with boyfriends and husbands. Every corner of the world has some surprises, but till we dont see it with own eyes we will not find the truth. All just happend in my life with no planning and I am ready to do all is happening here and now. Thanks for Ur reply and can U tell me more about Ur time in Cairo and what was the reason of going there and alllll:)))pa pa, do uslyszenia
