Egypt has a full culture, rich in tradition and steeped in history. Egypt is home to many ancient ruins and monuments such as the pyramids, the sphinx, and other archaeological wonders. Egypt attracts millions of tourists from around the world who wish to experience the wonders this country holds. Aside from the amazing ancient sites, Egypt boasts a diverse population of large cities along the Nile and sprawling, sparsely inhabited deserts. The majority of Egypt’s population is actually composed of native Egyptians. The official religion in Egypt is Islam and the official language is Egyptian Arabic. It is a good idea to consider learning Egyptian Arabic prior to moving to Egypt as it will make navigating throughout the cities, stores, businesses and marketplaces a great deal easier.
Though the citizens of some other Middle Eastern countries are allowed to travel over Egypt’s boarders freely, the rest of us moving to Egypt will be required to obtain a visa. Contact your local Egyptian Consulate to discuss the different visas available. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time prior to international moving to Egypt as it can be quite a lengthy process to obtain a visa.
