Question

Is it possible for a young american women 18 years old to work and live in Egypt Alone

Answer 1

egypt is a more safe than USA for women but it depends , what and where will you work and live  

Answer 2

well..it will be kinda tough..for the work part..depends on whats your qualifications..but it won't be easy am afraid,the jobs in Egypt are kinda hard to find.at least the good ones..specially if you don't have a college degree .

Answer 3

Not at all ... it is very easy to live here with no , or at least , minor problems , which is like any other place in the world

Chasing a job vacancy is not an easy task here

Living with your "Egyptian" salary would be kinda tough but if you gonna find a place in a big , multinational company and they gonna pay you well , it would be fun you can live like a queen  

Answer 4

Egypt can be very scary place for young women, specially if you are attractive one.Don't be too friendly with the men and be very carefully.

Good luck!  

Answer 5

Firstly, yes it is possible. But you wouldn't get any kind of job though, for example: a waiter in America is a decent job for an 18 year old but here you would be VERY VERY underpaid and often times mistreated i.e. no respect. You would probably be able to find a job at a multinational company such as Unilever or an international bank here such as HSBC, working at a nice hotel is also possible, such as the Four Seasons or Intercontinental.

I am an American who always comes to Egypt and I would like to tell you that if you have an American passport you will be treated much better than others and it would help you a lot to secure the job, especially with your skilled English dialect.

Beware though, living in Egypt is very expensive, it's not as easy as securing a job in America that pays rent and I would highly advise against the move to Egypt.

Answer 6

frankly, no, she will never feel happy, i mean the climate, the system, the people and everything will be different than she used to deal with, i know many non Egyptians friends who came with the intention to live forever but only after a couple of months they return.
