All about Cairo

jrama123

Hi
I am being given an offer to relocate to Cairo. I am currently in UK near to London. Could someone help me understand the life in Cairo as compared to UK or may be Indian as I basically come from India.
1. Accommodation
2. Possibility of getting an accommodation near to work (My exact work location is not known yet)
3. Cost of Owning a car
4. Overall cost of living for a decent UK-like life style (Here I live in a 2bed duplex house, own a used car, live very comfortable with my wife)
5. Social Life, local language & hospitality
6. Other facilities in the neighbourhood (community centres, gym, libraries, malls, indian groceries etc)
7. Food & restaurants
8. Safety

Anything that you can advise on top of this please.

Thanks
