Everyday life in Egypt for Russian speakers

This rubric gathers everyday advice: money, cards and transfers, SIM cards and the internet, healthcare and dentists, parcels home, food from home and Egyptian cuisine, markets and gold, Ramadan, the weather, pets, useful apps and how not to fall for scams.

The articles are written both for newcomers and for those who have lived in Egypt for a long time. We try to be specific about where to buy, roughly how much it costs and what to check, and we confirm prices and rules with recent sources.

Everything for the home, appliances, services and home cooked food is in the Tullab listings, and you can sell what you no longer need by posting a listing for free.
